ULPFR / Wais-2.311 / ChangeLog 
1998-04-07  Norbert Goevert  <goevert@ls6.cs.uni-dortmund.de>

	* 2.307 is new version
	
	* Wais.pm: fixed multiple database parallel bug

	* some changes in structure

Fri Feb 14 15:00:00 1997 Ulrich Pfeifer <pfeifer@ls6.informatik.uni-dortmund.de> 

	* patchlevel.h: Release 2.3 will now work with local test
	  databases.

	* t/basic.t t/parallel.t: Test do not call remote servers now.
	  People behind firewalls will see all test succeed now -
	  hopefully.

	* test/TEST test/TEST.german test/test.fmt test/testg.fmt: Sources
	  for the two test databases.

	* t/z_postop.t: Pseudo test to kill the wais server and remove test
	  databases indexes

	* t/dict.t t/ndict.t t/stem.t: Tests use the database created by
	  a_preop.t now. So no hunting for the freeWAIS-sf sources is
	  necessary.

	* t/a_preop.t: Pseudo test to index test databases and start a wais
	  server.

Fri Feb 14 14:00:00 1997 Ulrich Pfeifer <pfeifer@ls6.informatik.uni-dortmund.de> 

	* MANIFEST: Added test database sources and additional test files.

	* INSTALL.pod: This module no longer supports compiling from the
	  freeWAIS-sf source directory. This file contains some hints how
	  to build wais.h and libwais.a.

	* Wais.pm: Retrieve did ignore port number. Didn't I fix that
	  already?

	* README: Removed this weird compile-from-freeWAIS-sf-source stuff.
	  This file now is autogenerated from Wais.pod.

	* Makefile.PL: Removed this weird compile-from-freeWAIS-sf-source
	  stuff.

Thu Feb 13 12:00:00 1997 Ulrich Pfeifer <pfeifer@ls6.informatik.uni-dortmund.de> 

	* Wais.pm: Added (obsolete?) call to select remove in Search().
  	  Without it, can_read() did return without data available.
  	  searches to multiple extern servers should work more reliably
 	  now.

	* Makefile.PL: Added ChangeLog generation

Thu Feb  6 09:00:00 1997 Ulrich Pfeifer <pfeifer@ls6.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>
