=================================================================
+new !fix ~change -remove | focus: minor improvements, bugfixes
+ tests/scan.lst
Related to the "--scan: multiple url disarray" issue described
further below.
! "OperationalError: Could not decode to UTF-8 column 'cache_title'"
Endless string of encoding issues. An attempt was made to improve
the overall unicode/string handling throughout the program.
Ditched HTMLParser in favor for a custom SGMLParser.
Related to this: UnicodeDecodeError should no longer cause
instability as much anymore. Added safeguards (ignore 'n forget)
for these errors.
! --scan: Multiple URL disarray
The list was filled incorrectly if multiple scan URLs were supplied,
e.g.: % clive -S < tests/scan.lst
~ Improved: Youtube: HQ video not available (error: no-content) [bug #12000]
clive would previously exit with "no-content" error if the automatic
quality switching failed for still unknown reason.
This was originally fixed in the last release but that created a new
bug which caused clive to crash with the "CliveNoMediaError" exception.
Because this crash is very difficult to reproduce, the original code
was slightly modified so that clive should now report it as a "host
returned zero file length (timeout?)" error instead of crashing.
Should this error occur, re-extraction usually sorts it out.
~ Video filenames: "/" are no longer permitted in filenames
These characters are now converted by the program to "_". This
caused crashing for obvious reasons. Using the --filter option
does not have any effect on this.
~ Updated: README, INSTALL files
Description was changed, removed obsolete text. Added a note
about using --with-installed-PACKAGE.
~ Updated: Manual page (clive.1)
Complete overhaul.
~ --version:
OS release and locale encoding are now printed.
~ $HOME/.clive/config: renamed "youtube_id" to "youtube_user"
~ $HOME/.clive/config: renamed "dmotion_id" to "dmotion_user"
~ Modified: "warn: ... (same length) exists already"
Added "skipped:" to the message.
- Arcane filename limitation
Filename length is no more limited to 64 characters.
Version 0.4.18 [2008-07-15]
=================================================================
+new !fix ~change -remove | focus: major bugfixes
! Metacafe: Extraction fails ("HTTP/404 error")
Due to changes made to the website.
! Youtube: HQ video not available (error: no-content) [bug #12000]
Automatic quality detection would fail with some videos. clive
now switches to low quality if the host returns zero length
for a video file.
! --rss: Do not display empty feeds
Show no more feeds without items.
~ Updated: INSTALL and README files
INSTALL was rewritten, README was cleaned up.
~ NEWS: Utilized
All user-visible changes are now described in the NEWS file.
~ configure: --with-PACKAGE renamed (downstream maintainers take a note)
Renamed the --with-PACKAGE options to --with-installed-PACKAGE.
See the NEWS and the INSTALL files for more details.
~ Cleaned up: Version and options display at start
Less is more. Use --version for more detailed information, e.g. modules.
~ Cleaned up: removed unnecessary module import calls
Should speed up program start.
~ --rss, --cache, --scan: Utilize terminal size better
~ --scan, --cache, --rss: "OK - Extract" -> "Extract"
~ --scan, --cache, --rss: "Refresh" -> "Resize"
~ Removed remaining "notice:" messages
These messages were either renamed or removed.
Version 0.4.17 [2008-06-29]
=================================================================
+new !fix ~change -remove | focus: minor bugfixes, improvements
NOTE: Feature freeze (0.5.0).Shifting the effort towards fixing any
remaining bugs and improving the usability.
+ Locale settings
All printed (stdout, stderr, newt) strings are now encoded.
clive depends on the locale settings for this. If the setting
is not found, clive defaults the encoding to "iso-8859-1".
This change is related to the bug #11848.
+ --cache, --rss, --cache: Refresh function
Added a new button. Refresh can be used to resize the widgets
if the terminal size was changed.
+ --clear-cache,-d
Clears all cache data from ~/.clive/cache.
+ --clear-last,-D
Clears last batch data from ~/.clive/recall.
! --scan, --rss, --cache: Hitting F12 would result in "TypeError" crash
Hitting F12 is now the same as hitting "OK".
! Typo: src/clive/login.py.in (ln:99)
The exception instance was referred incorrectly.
! --scan: "UnicodeDecodeError: 'unicodeescape'" (bug #11848)
Should no longer occur. All printed (stdout, stderr, newt) strings are
now encoded to the locale encoding.
~ Print out: Tweaked
Making better use of available line space.
~ Startup: Options display
Replaced "exist" with "locale".
~ --cache: Changed data layout
Changed from the old layout (VideoTitle) to (VideoTitle / VideoURL).
~ --scan: Changed data layout (sr #2032)
Scrapped the old layout (ScanURL / VideoTitle) in favor for (VideoTitle /
VideoURL). The CheckboxTree widget has its limitations.
~ --recall: Changed no data error message
Exits now with "error: no recall data".
~ --cache: Check for existing data
clive now checks if cache data is available before displaying it.
~ Run and terminate options can be chained
Chaining the "run and terminate" options, such as --write-conf and
--clear-cache, is now possible. For example:
% clive -udDw
~ --scan: Improved duplicate URL checking (sr #2032)
For example:
* http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1943351180544198777
* http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=-1943351180544198777
Are considered to be the same.
~ --scan, --rss, --cache: Improved title clipping (sr #2032)
Titles are no longer clipped unnecessarily if there's enough
space left. clive will now also attempt to maximize the use
of the terminal area instead of using hardcoded dimensions.

a class is loaded in SOAP::Server has been changed to the following:
Assume loaded if
- the class is main
- the class implements the required method
- the corresponding module (file) exists in %INC
This is still error prone - if you know a better algorithm, please help me
out.

2008.07.25:
- Minor bug fix to "MPEG2TransportStreamFramer" (reset "fTSPCRCount" in "doStopGettingFrames()").
(Thanks to Qiujian Shu for reporting this bug.)
- Modified the previous changes to "QuickTimeFileSink" and "AVIFileSink" so that the
"createNew()" functions return NULL if the output file cannot be opened.
2008.07.24:
- Changed "MultiFramedRTPSource" to handle the very first packet that we receive as
if there were packet loss beforehand. This ensures that we correctly discard any
initial packets that we receive that occur after the start of a (multi-packet) frame.
- Fixed "QuickTimeFileSink" and "AVIFileSink" to close the output file (if it's not stdout or stderr) in the destructor,
2008.07.22:
- Fixed "MPEG2TransportStreamMultiplexor" to use an appropriate stream for our SCR, even if the input contained
its own Program Stream Map.
- More minor changes to the code to make Erik Hovland's code-checking tools happy.
2008.07.06:
- Corrected one of Erik Hovland's memory leak fixes made to the previous revision.
Enable full destdir support.
Changes since 2.17:
* Several small fixes to the GTK2 UI to make it work better under Windows
* The backup functionality has been completely rewritten. The external
interface has not changed, but numerous bugs, irregular behaviors, and
cross-platform inconsistencies have been corrected.
* Some important safety improvements:
o Added a new mountpoint preference, which can be used to specify a path
that must exist in both replicas at the end of update detection
o The confirmation of “big deletes” is now controlled by a boolean
preference confirmbigdeletes. Default is true, which gives the same behavior
as previously. (This functionality is at least partly superceded by the
mountpoint preference, but it has been left in place in case it is useful to
some people.)
o If Unison is asked to “follow” a symbolic link but there is nothing at
the other end of the link, it will now flag this path as an error, rather
than treating the symlink itself as missing or deleted. This avoids a
potentially dangerous situation where a followed symlink points to an
external filesystem that might be offline when Unison is run (whereupon
Unison would cheerfully delete the corresponding files in the other
replica!).
* Smaller changes:
o Added forcepartial and preferpartial preferences, which behave like force
and prefer but can be specified on a per-path basis. [Thanks to Alan Schmitt
for this.]
o A bare-bones self test feature was added, which runs unison through some
of its paces and checks that the results are as expected. The coverage of the
tests is still very limited, but the facility has already been very useful in
debugging the new backup functionality (especially in exposing some subtle
cross-platform issues).
o Refined debugging code so that the verbosity of individual modules can be
controlled separately. Instead of just putting '-debug verbose' on the
command line, you can put '-debug update+', which causes all the extra
messages in the Update module, but not other modules, to be printed. Putting
'-debug verbose' causes all modules to print with maximum verbosity.
o Removed mergebatch preference. (It never seemed very useful, and its
semantics were confusing.)
o Rewrote some of the merging functionality, for better cooperation with
external Harmony instances.
o Changed the temp file prefix from .# to .unison.
o Compressed the output from the text user interface (particularly when run
with the -terse flag) to make it easier to interpret the results when Unison
is run several times in succession from a script.
o Changed the order of arguments to the default diff command (so that the +
and - annotations in diff's output are reversed).
o Small fix to ctime (non-)handling in update detection under windows with
fastcheck.
not provide a ChangeLog, instead referring users to the subversion
history. This version has quite a few bug fixes over 1.0a--I simply do
not have the time to list them here.
Changes since version 2.38:
- Names ending in a dot now work.
- Whitespaces arround commata in config files are now ignored.
- Asynchronous logging.
- New --log-dhcp flag was added.
- RFC3046 relay agent data matching.
- RFC3993 subscriber ID relay agent data matching.
- RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent option.
- Option for interface names added.
- SIGUSR2 now closes and reopens the log files.
- DNS LOC record support.
- Allow disabling the DNS functionality by setting the port to 0.
- DNSMASQ_INTERFACE is now part of the environment of the lease change script.
- PMTUd disabled on DHCP and TFTP sockets.
- --dhcp-bridge now works on all BSD variants.
- Now including a Solaris 10 SMF.
- Random source ports for DNS queries (CVE-2008-1447).

Related to the main change of RT ticket #30849, fixes potential
problem in the creation of temporary file names if a test script is
run directly from the "t" directory. While at it, added a line with
the Subversion "Id" keyword and set the "svn:keywords" property on
all test scripts. The code-fix is based on suggestions from J??rg
Meltzer <joerg@joergmeltzer.de>.
lib/RPC/XML/Client.pm:
Per RT ticket #30849, fix problem caused by having colons in
temp-file names. Fix largely from patch suggested by J??rg Meltzer
<joerg@joergmeltzer.de>.
lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm:
Applied a modified form of a patch submitted by Mike Rylander
<miker@n2bb.com> to make things work under SSL.
lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm:
t/41_server_hang.t:
Fixed the bug in RPC::XML::Server::process_request() could lead to an
infinite loop if the client shuts down the socket before the full
request is sent. Added a test script specific to this bug, to catch it
if it reappears.
lib/RPC/XML.pm:
t/10_data.t:
Per RT ticket #30042, made a do-nothing branch in
RPC::XML::smart_encode actually die with an error when a
reference-type is passed in that cannot be converted. Added two
tests to cover this, and took the opportunity to convert 10_data.t
to Test::More.
t/40_server.t:
t/50_client.t:
Applied a patch from Chris Darroch to make the spawning of servers
work in some corner-cases that were failing. All that was required
was explicit specification of 'localhost' in the instantiation.
lib/RPC/XML/Parser.pm:
t/20_parser.t:
Applied a patch from Masatake Daimon (????????????) to improve
the performance of the parser by reducing the (vast) number of
string-concat operations. During this change, re-wrote the parser
tests to use Test::More and have better diagnostics.
lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm:
t/40_server.t:
Per RT ticket #29351, fixed a bug that caused a server to incorrectly
report the location and cause of an XML parsing error in the
request. The actual bug and solution were different than initially
reported in the ticket.
lib/RPC/XML.pm:
t/10_data.t:
Per RT ticket #31818, fix to the XML serialization of double values
to conform to the XML-RPC spec, as it does not allow for exponential
notation. This also required changes to the tests, as values were
no longer being auto-truncated at 5 decimal places. Also finished
cleaning up the t/10_data.t test suite with diagnostic messages on
the tests that had not previously gotten them.
lib/RPC/XML.pm:
t/20_parser.t:
In response to concerns raised by a report of parsing problems,
added XML entity encoding for ' and " (' and ") to the base
RPC::XML module, and added a test to the parser suite to make sure
it is correctly turning all core XML entities back into characters
during the parsing process.
lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm:
lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm:
t/40_server.t:
RT ticket #34557: Provide access to client-side connection info to
methods called on the server, by placing the data from get_peeraddr()
(as abstracted through existing methods in HTTP::Daemon::ClientConn
and Apache::Connection) into localized keys on the server object, as
is already done with the method_name and signature pseudo-keys. Tests
added to 40_server.t and docs updated.

Updated all copyright/redistribution information with current year

Drill is a tool ala dig from BIND. It was designed with DNSSEC in
mind and should be a useful debugging/query tool for DNSSEC.
A lot of DNS debugging is done with dig, but as dig is made with
the same libraries as BIND8/9 (the most used DNS server out there),
what are you actually debugging/testing? Drill has nothing in common
with either NSD nor BIND. During the development process we are
actually uncovering obscure bugs in NSD and BIND (and in drill
itself).
The goal of ldns is to simplify DNS programming, it supports recent
RFCs like the DNSSEC documents, and allows developers to easily
create software conforming to current RFCs, and experimental software
for current Internet Drafts. A secondary benefit of using ldns is
speed; ldns is written in C it should be a lot faster than Perl.
- Check timeperiod can now be modified on-the-fly.
- Added first_notification_delay to host and object definitions
to delay first notification.
- Notifications are now sent out when flap detection is disabled
on a host/service-specific or program-wide basis
($NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ macro = "FLAPPINGDISABLED").
- Notifications can now be sent out when scheduled downtime starts,
ends, and is cancelled. The $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ macro will be set
to "DOWNTIMESTART", "DOWNTIMEEND", or "DOWNTIMECANCELLED",
respectively. In order to receive downtime notifications,
specify 's' or 'downtime' in contact, host, and/or service
notification options.
- Added ability to use multiple template names (separated by commas)
in object definitions.
- Added ability to null out optional character directives in object
definitions (using 'null' without quotes).
- Added hostg/service/contactgroup_members directives to
host/service/contactgroup definitions, respectively, for allowing
including host, service, or contact members from "sub" groups.
- Added support for custom variables in host, service, and contact
definitions.
- Added host_notifications_enabled, service_notifications_enabled,
can_submit_commands to contact definitions.
- Added optional display_name directive to host and service definitions.
- Removed serviceextinfo definitions and merged variables with
service definitions.
- Removed hostextinfo definitions and merged variables with host
definitions.
- Services inherit contactgroups, notification interval, and
notification period from associated host if not specified.
- Service escalations inherit contactgroups, notification interval,
and escalation period from associated service if not specified.
- Host escalations inherit contactgroups, notification interval,
and escalation period from associated host if not specified.
- Host, service, host escalation, and service escalation
definitions now support a 'contacts' directive, along with
'contact_groups'.
- Service dependencies with blank dependent host/hostgroup names
will create "same host" dependencies.
- Added ability to precache object config files.
- Added ability to exclude object relationship and circular
path checks from verification process.
- Multiline output support for host and service checks.
- Added $LONGHOSTOUTPUT$ and $LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$ macros.
- Added $TEMPPATH$ macro.
- Removed $COMMENTDATAFILE$ and $DOWNTIMEDATAFILE$ macros.
- Added $HOSTDISPLAYNAME$ and $SERVICEDISPLAYNAME$ macros.
- Custom host/service/contact macros accessible via $_HOST<varname>$,
$_SERVICE<varname>$, or $_CONTACT<varname>$. On-demand host/service
macros for custom vars are working. Custom vars are also set as
environment vars.
- On-demand service macros can contain and empty host name field.
In this case, the name of the current host will be used.
- $HOSTNOTES$ and $SERVICENOTES$ macros may now contain macros
themselves.
- Added flap_detection_options directive to host and service
definitions to control which states (i.e. OK, WARNING, UNKNOWN,
and/or CRITICAL) are used in flap detection logic.
- Percent state change and state history are now retained and
recorded even when host/service flap detection is disabled.
- Hosts and services are immediately check for flapping when flap
detection is enabled program-wide.
- Hosts/services that are flapping when flap detection is disabled
program-wide are now logged.
- Added PROCESS_FILE external command to allow processing of
external commands found in an external (regular) file. Very
useful for passive checks with long out put or scripting.
- Custom commands can now be submitted to Nagios. Custom command
names are prefixed with an underscore and are not processed
internally by the Nagios daemon. They may, however, be processed
by NEB modules.
- External commands are now checked by default. Nagios 2.x and
earlier did not check for external commands by default.
- Contact status information is now saved (although it is not
processed by the old CGIs).
- Contact status information is now retained across program
restarts.
- Comment and downtime IDs are now stored across program restarts,
should be unique unless reset.
- Added retained_host/service_attribute_mask variables to control
what host/service attribs are retained globally.
- Added retained_process_host/service_attribute_mask variables to
control what process attribs are retained.
- Added retained_contact_host/service_attribute_mask variables to
control what contact attribs are retained globally.
- Scheduled downtime entries are now stored in the status and
retention files.
- Comments are now stored in the status and retention files.
- Non-persistent acknowledgement comments are now deleted when the
acknowledgement is removed (instead of when Nagios restarts).
- Most host checks are now run asynchronously, in parallel!
- Scheduled host checks now help improve performance, instead of
hinder it (if caching is enabled).
- Added cached_host_check_horizon option for enabling use of
cached host check results.
- Added enable_predictive_host_dependency_checks for enabling
predictive checks of dependent hosts.
- Added retry_interval to host definitions.
- Added check_for_orphaned_hosts option and support for orphaned
host checks.
- Passive host check states can now be translated from their
original DOWN/UNREACHABLE state if the new
translate_passive_host_results option is enabled.
- 'parallelize' option in service definitions deprecated/no longer
used.
- Added cached_service_check_horizon option for enabling use of
cached service check results.

* Changes in Wget 1.11.4
** Fixed an issue (apparently a regression) where -O would refuse to
download when -nc was given, even though the file didn't exist.
** Fixed a situation where Wget could abort with --continue if the
remote server gives a content-length of zero when the file exists
locally with content.
** Fixed a crash on some systems, due to Wget casting a pointer-to-long
to a pointer-to-time_t.
** Translation updates for Catalan.

Upstream changelog:
2008.07.06:
- Corrected one of Erik Hovland's memory leak fixes made to the previous revision.
2008.07.05:
- Fixed some memory leaks - and several other mostly cosmetic fixes.
(Thanks to Erik Hovland for noticing these.)
2008.06.26:
- Fixed a bug in "openRTSP" that was sometimes causing an incorrect "Range:" header
to be sent in "PLAY" requests.
2008.06.25:
- Fixed a bug in the headers sent for the RTSP "GET_PARAMETER" and "SET_PARAMETER" commands.
(Thanks to "beilyzhang (at) hotmail" for this report.)
2008.06.05:
- Renamed the "ourSourceAddressForMulticast()" function to the less confusing and more explanatory
"ourIPAddress()".
- The "RTSPClient" change that was made in 2008.04.09 to accommodate multicast
streams apparently broke (some?) unicast streams. This has now been fixed.
- Updated "RTSPClient" to handle weird servers that include a "Content-Length:" header
in the response to the RTSP "SETUP" command. (If we see such a header, we skip over
the data referred to in the header.) (Thanks to Kristian Soerensen for this suggestion.)
- Changed the parsing of lines in "RTSPClient" so that it now accepts \r or \n alone
at the end of each line. (\r\n is preferred, but the standard also allows \r or \n)
(Thanks to David Schueler for this suggestion.)
2008.05.12:
- Made a change to "RTCPInterface" to ensure that "turnOffBackgroundReadHandling()" is called on a socket
as many times as "turnOnBackgroundReadHandling()". Apparently some versions of Windows get upset if this
doesn't happen. (Thanks to Ken Seo for the suggested fix.)
- Fixed a bug in "H263plusVideoStreamParser". (Thanks to Andrey Latin.)
- Added more sanity checking to "JPEGVideoRTPSink".
* An increment only in the version number that was failing to be
reported properly by the tools.
Changes 5.4.1.1:
* SECURITY BUG: A portion of SNMPv3 code had significantly weakened
authentication cryptography and unauthenticated access to a system
is a possibility.
* It is critical that all users update their installations bases
IMMEDIATELY.
* If you were only using SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c you were already insecure
beyond a level that this vulnerability affects.
plus some new features.
==========================================================================
Changes:
aria2-0.14.0+1
* Fixed the code that refers static member variable from
non-static context.
Notes:
This release adds epoll support for linux and the ability to
limiting the number of files to be opened to support more than
1024 files in multi file torrent.
Several bugs in BitTorrent downloads are fixed.
From this release, aria2 downloads a file using 5 connections
in HTTP/FTP by default and the behavior of -s option has
changed. See the project web page for more details.
Changes:
aria2-0.14.0
* Changed -s options behavior. Now it means the number of connections
made simultaneously in each http/ftp download. If 1 URL is specified,
the behavior is the same with old implementation. If -s N is given
and more than N URLs are specified, first N URLs are used and
remaining URLs are used for backup. If less than N URLs are specified,
some of URLs are used more than once so that totally N connections are
made simultaneously.
* Changed default value of -s option from 1 to 5.
Also max value of -s option is changed from 5 to 16.
* Reduced CPU usage on high load.
* Added epoll support.
* Fixed compile error on debian etch. BUG#1980766
* Added --bt-request-peer-speed-limit=SPEED option.
In BitTorrent downloads, if the download speed is lower than SPEED,
aria2 initiates and accepts connections ignoring max peer cap.
* Reduced read operation for hash calculation.
* Fixed the bug that aria2 cannot respond bttrack's nat check properly.
* Fixed the bug that HTTP downloads don't start with old libraries.
* Fixed the bug that aria2 aborts when a path to a directory is given in
command-line.
* Added --bt-max-open-files option, which specifies maximum number of
files toopen in each BitTorrent download. REQUEST#1811507
* Create only requested files and files which shares a piece with
requested file in multi-torrent downloads. Directory structures are
also created in the same rule.
* When there is not enough space in disk, aria2 prints error in the
console and cancels that download. BUG#1640332
version 0.4 (2007/10/27):
- added support for method "abandon"
- full request is now passed to methods
- compatibility with the changed behaviour of the 'use fields'
pragma in Perl 5.9.x (thanks to Peter Karman)
1.05 Sat Aug 12 17:28:41 EDT 2006
Run correctly on Windows platforms under Perl 5.8.8.
1.03-1.04 Fri Dec 2 10:44:35 EST 2005
Various fixes to compile cleanly on Windows platforms.
1.02 Thu Nov 17 12:04:21 EST 2005
Skip regression test #4 (mcast_drop) because it always fails
on windows platforms. This
should not affect functionality, as the test asks
mcast_drop() to return a false value when dropping
an address twice.
1.01 July 5, 2005
All symbols now in IO::Socket::Multicast package
(some were in IO::Socket in previous versions)
Incorporates patches to compile cleanly on Win32 systems,
contributed by Thomas Kratz.
1.00 April 9, 2005
Reconstructed module after CVS server crash.
Fixed documentation errors
1.05 Fri Jun 6 11:53:21 EDT 2008
Fix from Mitsuru Yoshida to compile on FreeBSD.
1.04 Wed Dec 26 13:38:53 EST 2007
Fix from John Lightsey to avoid dmesg warnings on BSD systems.
Also need a local patch because NetBSD doesn't set the address family
on the "netmask" address, apparently this originates from ifconfig.
Work around that by just setting the address family field after ioctl()
and before checking it...
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a wildcard matching problem in the daemon when a module has
"use chroot" enabled.
- Fixed a crash bug in the hard-link code.
- Fixed the sending of xattr directory information when the code finds a
--link-dest or --copy-dest directory with unchanged xattrs -- the
destination directory now gets these unchanged xattrs properly applied.
- Fixed an xattr-sending glitch that could cause an "Internal abbrev"
error.
- Fixed the combination of --xattrs and --backup.
- The generator no longer allows a '.' dir to be excluded by a daemon-
exclude rule.
- Fixed deletion handling when copying a single, empty directory (with no
files) to a differently named, non-existent directory.
- Fixed the conversion of spaces into dashes in the %M log escape.
- Fixed several places in the code that were not returning the right
errno when a function failed.
- Fixed the backing up of a device or special file into a backup dir.
- Moved the setting of the socket options prior to the connect().
- If rsync exits in the middle of a --progress output, it now outputs a
newline to help prevent the progress line from being overwritten.
- Fixed a problem with how a destination path with a trailing slash or
a trailing dot-dir was compared against the daemon excludes.
- Fixed the sending of large (size > 16GB) files when talking to an older
rsync (protocols < 30): we now use a compatible block size limit.
- If a file's length is so huge that we overflow a checksum buffer count
(i.e. several hundred TB), warn the user and avoid sending an invalid
checksum struct over the wire.
- If a source arg is excluded, --relative no longer adds the excluded
arg's implied dirs to the transfer. This fix also made the exclude
check happen in the better place in the sending code.
- Use the overflow_exit() function for overflows, not out_of_memory().
- Improved the code to better handle a system that has only 32-bit file
offsets.
Enhancements:
- The rsyncd.conf manpage now consistently refers to the parameters in
the daemon config file as "parameters".
- The description of the --inplace option was improved.
Patch provided by in PR 38995. OKed by agc@.
While here, marked as DESTDIR ready.

0.51 Mon May 8 11:55:19 BST 2006
- Deprecation in favour of ZOOM-Perl.
- Fix some compiler warnings.
- Fix typo in documentation (thanks to Kimmo Valtonen).
0.50 Wed Jul 27 13:28:03 BST 2005
- Correct the ResultSet::present() fix that was supposed to be
in the previous release: that code inadvertently always
returned undef in asynchronous mode.
- "ywpriv.h" now #undefines "list", which the Perl development
header files inexplicably and inexcusably #define to
"Perl_list".
- "ywpriv.h" now #undefines "open", which Solaris 9 #defines
(I really can't believe this) to "open64". Maybe Sun would
like me to go round their place and dump a load of _my_ crap
in _their_ workspace?
- New querytype "cql" can be used to pass CQL queries,
untranslated, straight through to the server. Use like:
$conn->search(cql => "au=(kernighan and richie)")
0.49 Thu Apr 21 11:06:02 BST 2005
- Change to the ResultSet::present() API in asynchronous mode:
returns 1 if new requests were queued, 0 if all of the
requested records had already been queued. (No changes to
its usage in synchronous mode.)
- yazwrap/send.c no longer includes <yaz/log.h> (not needed,
generates warning)
0.48 Tue Apr 19 22:36:45 2005
- Patches supplied by Jan Bauer Nielsen <jbn@dtv.dk> to
interpret otherInformation packets, in search responses,
containing a search-info report of subquery counts.
- Patches supplied by Myron Turner <mturner@Ms.UManitoba.CA>
to protect the Net::Z3950 module against certain classes of
badly-behaved server.
- Bring "samples/multiplex.pl" up to date, illustrating the
use of this module to run sequences of queries against
multiple servers in parallel.
0.47 Tue Jan 4 22:15:07 2005
- The "connection refused" condition is now handled more
gracefully, so that there is no error message emitted by
Event.pm, just an undefined value returned and $! set to
ECONNREFUSED.
- Improve many of the comments on this subject.
0.46 Mon Nov 22 23:42:40 2004
- Use the MARC::Record module for rendering MARC records
instead of the older, unsupported and possibly buggy
MARC.pm.
WARNING: This change is backwards incompatible, but that
incompatibility will only affect you if you're relying on
the precise formatting of $rec->render() on MARC records.
0.45 Mon Nov 1 09:13:51 2004
- Support for "charset" and "language" options added by Adam
Dickmeiss.
0.44 Fri May 7 18:00:54 2004
Note that this release consists entirely of
backwards-incompatible changes to new functionality introduced
in 0.43, the previous release. If you use Scan, then all your
Scan code must change; if you do not use Scan, then this
release will not affect you at all.
- Change scan-option names to be ZOOM-compliant.
- Introduce a new enumeration, Net::Z3950::ScanStatus
- Add a new class, Net::Z3950::ScanSet, representing the
results of a Scan operation. This is compliant with the
ZOOM Abstract API, and supports much nicer client code than
the previous release:
$ss = $conn->scan('@attr 1=1003 kern');
$status = $ss->status();
print $ss->errmsg()
if $status == Net::Z3950::ScanSet::Failure;
$count = $ss->size();
($term, $hits) = $ss->term(0);
The scanResponse APDU, which used to be returned from the
scan() method, is still available via the scanResponse()
method, but there is no reason for new code to call this.
- Complete rewrite of the sample client "scan.pl" to use the
new API.
0.43 Thu May 6 14:19:56 2004
- Add support for Scan, using code contributed by Jan Bauer
Nielsen <jbn@dtv.dk>, somewhat tidied up. Use it like this:
$apdu = $conn->scan('@attr 1=1003 kern');
$status = $apdu->scanStatus();
if ($status == 6) print Dumper($apdu->diag());
$count = $apdu->numberOfEntriesReturned();
$term = $apdu->entries()->[0]->termInfo()->term()->general();
$hits = $apdu->entries()->[0]->termInfo()->globalOccurrences();
Subsequent releases will support more corners of the Scan
specification (e.g. displayTerm and friends), and present a
much nicer API with a ZOOM-like ScanSet object. See
http://zoom.z3950.org/api/zoom-1.4.html#3.6
- Included in the "samples" directory is a simple scanning
client program, "scan.pl".
0.42 Wed Mar 31 13:06:09 2004
- Add support for Unix-domain sockets: use "unix" as the
hostname, and the path to the socket file as the port, in
the connection constructor. Like this:
$conn = new Net::Z3950::Connection("unix", "/tmp/socket");
0.41 Wed Mar 17 13:33:43 2004
- When Net::Z3950::Manager::wait() times out, it now returns
an undefined value rather than, as in v0.40, the timeout
value. This code is now tested, thanks to Rick Jansen.
- Minor changes to some of the logic in ResultSet.pm
0.40 Tue Mar 16 13:57:33 2004
- A timeout may be set for a Net::Z3950::Manager's wait() by
setting that manager's "timeout" option to the maximum
number of seconds to wait. Donald Knuth once wrote,
"Beware: this code has not been tested, only proved
correct." _This_ code improves on Knuth in that it has been
neither tested _nor_ proved correct. However, I give you my
solemn promise that I think it probably works, as likely as
not.
0.39 Fri Dec 19 16:08:35 2003
- 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.

- Fix a silly bug in Net::Z3950::Record::OPAC::rawdata(),
spotted by Kristina Long. It was trying to return $$this,
like the opaque-array-of-bytes record-types such as USMARC,
whereas in fact $this is itself a Perl structure
representing the record.
- Add a kludge to patch over anti-social behaviour from
servers that sometimes return USMARC records when asked for
OPAC records: the returned record is wrapped in an otherwise
empty OPAC record structure.
0.37 Tue Sep 16 15:14:40 2003
- Remove a pair of extraneous declarations (copied from
"yaz/include/yaz/z-opac.h" for reference) at the end of
translateHoldingsAndCirc(). On recent GCC versions, such as
mine, they were pointless but harmless; but older versions,
such as the one in Debian/stable, croak if you mix
statements and declarations.
- Improve behaviour when a server unilaterally closes the
connection while we're waiting for a Init response.
Previously, this would cause a segmentation fault; now you
get errno set to 104 (ECONNRESET) which is pretty close.
- Improve the OPAC record renderer in Z3950/Record.pm so that
it walks more of the OPAC-record structure. As well as
being prettier, this is better documentation-by-example of
how to use the record structure.
0.36 Fri Sep 12 23:47:00 2003
- Add support for the OPAC record syntax: OPAC records are now
translated into self-describing Perl data-structures,
blessed into the class Net::Z3950::Record::OPAC. There is a
rudimentary renderer included in that class, but
sophisticated applications will want to deal with the data
structure itself. To see it in action, use something like:
$ perl samples/simple.pl alpha.calarts.edu 210 \
MARION fruit preferredRecordSyntax 35
WARNING: for some servers, e.g. troy.lib.sfu.ca:210/innopac,
you MUST request elementSetName "F", otherwise you'll just
be fed USMARC records whatever your preferredRecordSyntax.
- Deal better with unrecognised or malformed APDUs from the
server, e.g. library.ucfv.bc.ca:2200/unicorn when asked
for the USMARC record found by "@attr 1=4 time". Now, the
operation fails with diagnostic code 1001 (Malformed APDU).
- Change all <mike@tecc.co.uk> addresses to
<mike@indexdata.com>. (This change is well overdue, since I
changed jobs seven months ago!)
- Fix reference for PQF in the YAZ manual.
0.35 Fri Jun 27 10:48:03 2003
- Fix all non-US MARC record-types to return raw data from the
rawdata() method rather than, as before, the render()
method.
- Add a new delete() method to Net::Z3950::ResultSet
0.34 Mon May 12 10:17:07 2003
- Slightly more robust cleanup in Manager::forget()
- Make samples/simple.pl a little less simple(!) by making a
manager so that pre-connection options such as
authentication parameters can be set.
- In Makefile.PL, LIBS and INC are now both set via yaz-config,
so you don't need to mess with that file before building.
(Adam Dickmeiss)
- The INC is now inherited by yazwrap/Makefile.PL, so that
this file also does not need to be edited. (Adam Dickmeiss)
- CCFLAGS is no longer set in the yazwrap directory. I only
did that in order to add "-Wall", which is pleasant luxury
but not really necessary; and doing so caused problems as
other, default, components of that setting were discarded on
some platforms. (Adam Dickmeiss)
- Add support for the MAB record syntax, thanks to Heiko
Jansen <JANSEN@hbz-nrw.de>
0.33 Thu Apr 3 09:10:16 2003
- Add explicit statement of GPL licence.
No code changes at all.
1.0 Fri Dec 02, 2005
- The "Nothing Special" release. It's just been almost
three years. I think we can call it 1.0, don't you?
- Added 'queries_exhausted' methods to indicate whether
Google API query limit has been reached (RT ticket
12001)
- Fixed POD errors in Net::Google::Response (RT ticket
8735)
- Updated t/002-spelling.t (RT ticket 11386/11458)
- Updated POD
- Replace ExtUtils::MakeMaker with Module::Build
- Pass maintainership to Bill Stillwell
0.62 Wed Jun 02, 2004
- Fixed POD in N:G:Response (RT bug #5351)
- Updated spel(l)ings in t/002-spelling.t
(RT bug #6183)
- Updated N:G:Search to account to weirdness
in the way SOAP::Lite handles booleans. Not
clear that this is necessarily a problem in
SOAP::Lite but the patch fixes a reported bug
and doesn't seem to break anything else so...
(RT bug #6167)
- Added explicit call to $search->filter(1)
in t/001-search.t (RT bug #6167)

Move TFTP out of libnet
The Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) is an IETF standard
that provides a complete cross protocol messaging solution. The problem
with current IM solutions is that they are all proprietary and cannot
talk to each other. XMPP seeks to get rid of those barriers.
For more information about the Jabber project visit http://www.xmpp.org.
Net::XMPP is a collection of Perl modules that provide a Perl Developer
access to the XMPP protocol. Using OOP modules we provide a clean
interface to writing anything from a full client to a simple protocol
tester.
