Revision history for Perl extension Keystone::Resolver.
1.12 Thu Jan 17 15:50:00 GMT 2008
- Support for running under both Apache 1.3/mod_perl and
Apache 2.0/mod_perl2.
- Add utility function apache_request() and mod_perl_version()
to Keystone::Resolver::Utils to support Apache-version
independence.
1.11 Mon Dec 17 11:57:16 GMT 2007
- Fix bug #1967, which prevented the creation of certain types
of record, including Service and User.
1.10 Thu Dec 13 17:27:15 GMT 2007
- Hardwired username/password pairs for read-only and
read-write pairs removed from code. These are now obtained
from the KRuser, KRpw, KRrwuser and KRrwpw environment
variables.
- Set KRuser et al. in web/conf/apache1.3/debian.conf
- Set KRuser et al. in t/regression.t
- Fixes to the admin system's new-record-creation and editing
system.
1.09 Mon Dec 3 09:46:22 GMT 2007
- Add documentation to bin/kr-recipe.
- Remove the obsolete PHP-based Web Admin UI from
web/htdocs/dbadmin/
- Much better Debian packaging.
1.08 Fri Nov 23 18:23:00 GMT 2007
- Debian packaging. Currently encompasses the Perl part of
the application only (libraries and driver scripts). A
separate Debian package will follow for the Web Admin UI and
the main HTTP entry point.
1.07 Fri Sep 21 10:00:40 BST 2007
- The "deny" boolean field of rule object (both service-type
and service rules) is re-cast as an enumeration called
"action", with values "include" and "exclude". This is
clearer exposition, and better represents the code. The
underlying database field is still called "deny" and still
uses the boolean values 0 and 1, so no database changes are
necessary.
1.06 Thu Sep 20 18:50:54 BST 2007
- Correct implementation of rules: both at the Service-Type
and Service levels, and both "include" and "exclude" rules.
- Default options for the resolver object may now be set from
the environment (though they will be overridden by opt_*
keys in the OpenURL being resolved). The KR_OPTIONS
environment variable is consulted: it consists of zero or
more assignments, separated by commas, each of the form
<option>=<value>: for example, "loglevel=32,xml=1". This is
useful when running tests from the command-line.
1.05 Thu Sep 13 11:00:25 BST 2007
- Genre class includes backlink field "metadata_formats",
which is included in its full display.
- Provides class includes backlink field "services", which is
included in its full display.
- Add "browse" links for each object type as well as "search"
in the Admin UI menu-panel.
- The example form web/htdocs/mod_perl/form2.html now includes
a link to the Admin UI.
- ... and the home page of the Admin UI links to the form.
1.04 Thu Sep 13 00:50:30 BST 2007
- Change all occurrences of "media format" into "metadata
format": the gormer was a mistake.
- Add links in admin UI to create new records as well as
editing existing ones.
- Extend database with rules for selecting service-types and
individual services based on values of fields in the OpenURL
itself -- for example, when rfc.dctype=audiobook, omit
online bookstores.
- Add database classes and Web UI for managing both kinds of
rules.
- Better data-dictionary support for Domain (add name),
Service (do not display ID field) and User (make
summary-list name a link to full record).
- Web UI can now handle editing booleans and links (using
dropdowns, which will not scale well when using large
lists). This works ONLY FOR -TO-ONE LINKS and not for
-to-many links.
1.03 Thu Jul 12 12:44:30 BST 2007
- _makeURI() now understands fallback fieldnames: for example,
the sequence %{jtitle/btitle/title} will use jtitle if that
is defined, otherwise %btitle if that is defined, otherwise
plain title.
- Added a test-script for _makeURI().
- Added a new log-level, WARNING.
- Changed OpenURL::warn() to use $this->log(WARNING).
1.02 Tue Jul 10 12:45:06 BST 2007
- Admin UI work continues.
- Add service for linking into MasterKey.
- Add service for linking into Reindex.
- Add various hacks in identifier plugins to cope with the
nasty COinS OpenURLs generated by WorldCat.
1.01 Fri May 25 09:35:08 BST 2007
- Add configuration-file fragment for Apache 2.0.x.
- Changed the format of the XML document generated internally
as part of the resolution process (and available to the user
by providing the opt_xml query argument as part of the
OpenURL). The new format places the text of each candidate
result as CDATA rather than an attribute value, opening the
way for more complex values.
- Updated the XML DTD for the results format to reflect this
format change: etc/constraint/results-1.0.dtd
- Updated the various XSLT stylesheets in etc/xslt to work on
the new form of the results XML.
- Updated the test regression-test's known-good output to
match the new XML format.
- Recipe rendering by Keystone::Resolver::OpenURL::_makeURI()
now accepts additional optional pre-special flag "_" which
results in the interpolated value being stripped of spaces.
- Add new command-line utility bin/kr-recipe to test recipe
rendering.
- Correct handling of character sets.
- Add admin UI: this affects Apache configuration, the core
library, many HTML::Mason components, etc. Not complete
yet.
1.00 Fri Jan 26 17:18:37 GMT 2007
- original version; created by h2xs 1.23 with options
-X --name=Keystone::Resolver --compat-version=5.8.0 --omit-constant --skip-exporter --skip-ppport
- Actually, the core of the code is much older than this, but
Release 1.0 constitutes a complete repackaging and
reorganisation, based on this h2xs invocation. This allows
us to take advantage of the Perl packaging conventions to
make the entire distribution, as well as a generally cleaner
project layout. Prior releases were as a Perl module just
called "Resolver" (which for that reason would not have been
eligible as a CPAN module -- a two-level name is required).
Earlier entries in this file describe that old structure.
Revision history for Perl extension Resolver.
0.03 (NOT RELEASED)
- "make test" now works on Red Hat 9, despite that platform's
inability to load DBD::mysql non-lazily, i.e. when
PERL_DL_NONLAZY is set. This is done by hackery in
Makefile.PL to prevent PERL_DL_NONLAZY from being set, which
is not really a good solution.
- Move citation generation, full-text reference generation and
abstract generation from Resolver::OpenURL into their own
plugins.
- Refine service plugin interface so that the result can be
success, no-op, error or non-fatal error.
- New test-case that checks for unknown journal titles being
properly diagnosed.
- Add ability to request a single service rather than the
usual menu using svc_dat=indexdata:<service-type>:<tag>.
Add new test-case "feature-single" that exercises this.
- Add ability for an OpenURL object to render itself as a
version 1.0 OpenURL string. Among other uses, this
functions as a v0.1-to-v1.0 converter.
- Add support for generating Endnote-style citations.
- Add ability for a ServiceType or individual Service plugin
to specify the MIME-type of its result.
- Result sets consisting of a single, explicitly requested,
result are now returned from Resolver::OpenURL::resolve() as
self-contained objects of the specified MIME-type rather
than embedded in a larger XML or HTML document. This allows
the resolver to generate binary objects such as Endnote
citations for download.
0.02 Fri Jul 30 02:23:34 2004
- First nailed-down version. This is not yet ready for public
release, but it does follow CPAN-like conventions, and
passes its own test-suite using the standard sequence "perl
Makefile.PL && make && make test", so I am treating this as
a baseline from which to describe future changes.
0.01 Wed Jul 28 16:00:52 2004
- original version; created by h2xs 1.22 with options
-A -X -b 5.6.0 Resolver
In fact, this Perl-module superstructure was retro-fitted to
a project that had already undergone a great deal of
development prior to the h2xs-ization.
