Revision history for Perl extension Net::Z3950::FOLIO.

1.3 (Thu Sep 24 20:16:12 BST 2020)

• Make robust when dealing with MARC fields that have no subfields.
• Add dependency on source-storage-source-records interface.
• When substituting environment variables in the configuration file, recognise the bash-like fallback syntax ${NAME-VALUE}, which uses the value of the environment variable NAME when defined, falling back to the constant value VALUE otherwise. This allows the configuration to include default values which can be overridden with environment variables.
• Use default configured index when no Z39.50 access-point is specified for a search.
• Support Z39.50 sorting. Fixes ZF-1.
• Make the set of available record-syntaxes and element-sets more coherent.
• Add configuration option to omit specified sort-index modifiers for specific access points. We should not need this, but in practice we will until CQLPG-102 is fixed.
• Provide documentation of server capabilities. Fixes ZF-17.
• Modify how FOLIO location data is mapped to OPAC-record fields. Fixes ZF-19.
• The itemId field in the OPAC record now contains the item barcode instead of HRID. Fixes ZF-21.
• Support and document relation specification in index-map specification, allowing the use of == for HRID searches. Fixes ZF-20.

1.2 (Fri Sep 18 10:15:11 BST 2020)

• Fix a couple of archaic formations that recent Perls complain about: unescaped { in regular expressions, passing a scalar reference to keys. These were causing test failures on some platforms.

1.1 (Thu Sep 17 19:46:10 2020 +0100)

• Attempt to mark classes in the Net::Z3950::RPN namespace as non-indexed, so PAUSE doesn't trip up on them when trying to index the module and seeing that classes of the same name are defined the SimplerServer distribution. Note that this have no functional effect on the behaviour of the code: it is only matter of getting the release to appear on CPAN.

1.0 (Thu Sep 17 16:25:51 BST 2020)

• First released version. Includes:
  • ZF-3 (Support returning OPAC records)
  • ZF-4 (Support returning MARC records)
  • ZF-5 (Get MARC records directly from linked storage (SRS))
  • ZF-6 (Get the basic server working)
  • ZF-7 (Improve query-mapping)
  • ZF-12 (Generate OPAC record from holdings/items according to mapping)
  • ZF-15 (Dockerize the Z39.50 server)
  • ZF-16 (Make release v1.0)

0.01 (Thu Dec 6 13:03:26 2018)

• Original version; created by h2xs -X --name=Net::Z3950::FOLIO --compat-version=5.8.0 --omit-constant --skip-exporter --skip-ppport

To do

• Determine FOLIO tenant from database name, and postpone initialisation and authentication until we know that (ZF-2).
• Automatic generation of MARC records (ZF-14). Thi will need a non-trivial version of etc/folio2marcxml.xsl (ZF-8).
