Changes for version 3.12
- BUG: Static repository was re-fetching the source for every request
- API change: when parsing a static repository records are now pre-parsed to allow for quick GetRecord access, this means you *must* supply the handlers argument to the Harvester constructor (otherwise the first request's handlers are always used)
- Added resumptionToken option to ListIdentifiers in the oai_browser.pl tool
- 2005-09-05
- Added -oldstyle_urls to gateway & doc examples [thanks to Patrick Hochstenbach]
- 2005-04-13
- Improved display of errors in the event of XML parsing failure (bad chars etc.)
- In the event of bad XML resumption token will not sleep(60) and retry, but simply fail
- 2005-04-08
- Fixed bug where Header wasn't getting end_element on </header>, resulting in deleted items in ListRecords never being flagged as such
- 2005-04-06
- UserAgent now uses a callback with LWP to parse XML responses, resulting in a much reduced memory footprint
- Compression support is removed for the moment
- 2005-03-30
- CGI has an annoying habit of return the URL with semi-colons, ::Response now checks for this and acts appropriately
- Header was blanking setSpecs when given a dom (corrected POD for setSpec)
- Fixed Header missing the record status
- Tests added to getrecord.t for parsing Header
- oai_static_gateway.pl now throws an error if given a resumption token (which should never occur because it doesn't use Flow-Control)
- 2005-03-07
- Fixed undef warning when trying to set the repository to an Identify w/o a base URL
- Changed back to XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser due to unreliability in XML::LibXML::SAX :-(
- 2005-03-05
- 2005-02-25
- Added new script 'gateway.pl' that acts as a static repository broker
- Library now uses temporary files to harvest (due to memory leak in LibXML's parse_string), provides for a smaller memory footprint
- Numerous bug fixes
- 2005-02-23
- Added support for harvesting from Static repositories
- Fixed bug where the error message for an unsupported namespace wasn't getting displayed
- 2004-10-08
- Moved to namespace HTTP::OAI
- Changed all arguments from -style to 'argument'
- Now uses (in a round-about way) XML::SAX, dropping the requirement for XML::Parser and XML::SAX::PerlSAX
- Fixed some bugs with the DOM construction code (which also effected toString)
