51 <h2 id="changes" name="changes">1. Changes</h2>
52
53 <ul>
54 <li>Datatypes:
55 <ul>
56 <li>XSDFloat: Bug in rounding double float to single float.  Fixed.</li>
57 <li>SOAPElement: Added for literal encoding.</li>
58 <li>Removed SOAP encoding functions from baseData.  EncondingStyleHandler should decide how to encode SOAP data model. (ie. ASP.NET seems to have its own encoding style.)</li>
59 <li>SOAPHeaderItem: Changed interface for easy use.</li>
60 </ul></li>
61
62 <li>SOAP Encoding:
63 <ul>
64 <li>Encoding by itself, not using NQXML's tree object model.</li>
65 <li>At last, supported multi-ref encoding!</li>
66 <li>marshal.rb: Marshalling with Envelope and Body.  To marshal multi-ref'd object, Body is needed. CAUTION: Not compatible between former implementation.</li>
67 <li>Add EncodingStyleHandlerLiteral and set it to default.</li>
68 <li>Renamed encoding.rb to encodingStyleHandler.rb.</li>
69 <li>Added ASP.NET encoding handler.  ASP.NET seems to use literal encoding (by default) but it is easier with this encodingStyleHandler to access the service which is built with ASP.NET.</li>
70 <li>Changed element name escape.
71 <ul>
72 <li>:: &lt;=&gt; \.\.</li>
73 <li>[^a-zA-Z0-9_-] &lt;=&gt; \.[0-F][0-F]
74 </ul>
75 Limitation: Using SOAP4R's RPC function, you cannot use the name which contains '.' for method name, class/struct name, and accessor name. In Ruby world, it should not be a problem I believe.</li>
76 </ul></li>
77
78 <li>RPC related functions:
79 <ul>
80 <li>Driver: Added 'invoke' method for messaging.</li>
81 <li>Driver: Content of SOAPFault detail element is set in the exception which is thrown from SOAP Node to client application.</li>
82 <li>Processor: Changed Processor.(un|)marshal interface.  An instance of NS for parsing/generating XML instance is prepared in parser/generator.</li>
83 <li>mappingRegistry.rb is devided from rpcUtils.rb.</li>
84 </ul></li>
85 </ul>

207 <h2 id="dependencies" name="dependencies">5. Dependencies</h2>
208
209 <p>
210 SOAP4R depends on below programs:
211 </p>
212
213 <ul>
214 <li>SOAP4R is a
215 <a href="http://www.ruby-lang.org">Ruby</a>
216 library program.
217 You have to install Ruby itself.
218 Ruby/1.6 series are required.
219 It does not works on 1.4 series because of class variable.</li>
220
221 <li>SOAP4R requires a XML processor package installed.
222 For now, one of following XML processor must be installed
223  (SOAP4R automatically detects it in runtime).
224 <ul>
225 <li><a href="http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/raa-list.rhtml?name=NQXML">NQXML module</a></li>

371 Thanks!
372
373 <ul>
374 <li>Changed using URI library: uri -&gt; URb.</li>
375 <li>Types changed:
376   <ul>
377     <li>All: Triming data except XSDString before parsing it.</li>
378     <li>String: Regexp for XML Char check did not work under $KCODE = 'UTF8' condition.  Fixed.</li>
379     <li>Nil: 2001xsd:nil must not accept a value '1'.  1999xsd:null must not accept a value 'true' because these are not a boolean but only a flag for nil.  Fixed.</li>
380   </ul>
381 </li>
382
383 <li>Supported XML parser:
384   <ul>
385     <li>Added automatic CES conversion support for NQXMLParser.
386         (Depends on uconv module).
387         Set $KCODE for regexps used in NQXML parser.</li>
388     <li>Moved SOAPNQXML*Parser to nqxmlparser.rb.</li>
389   </ul>
390 </li>
391
392 <li>RPC related functions changed:</li>
393   <ul>
394     <li>Added marshalling/unmarshalling Ruby's object using SOAP Encoding.</li>
395     <li>Parallelize of signatures of 'addMethod': proxy.rb &lt;-&gt; rpcRouter.rb, driver.rb &lt;-&gt; cgistub.rb.</li>
396     <li>Void return if 'retval' is not defined.</li>
397     <li>Added SOAP's Long type to default mapping table.</li>
398   </ul>
399 </li>
400 </ul></dd>
401
402 <dt>1.3.4.2 - July 11, 2001</dt>
403 <dd>SOAP4R/1.3.4 was once packed in July 10, 2001.
404 But, thanks to MNeumann and knu,
405 I found I had forgotten to pack 'redist' directory with it.
406 I added some fix from developing version and repack it as 1.3.4.2.
407 Sorry for frequently release...
408 <br/><br/>
409
410 Feedback from
411 <a href="http://www.xmethods.net/ilab/">`SOAPBuilders Interoperability Lab.'</a>
412 and Michael Neumann.  Thanks!
413
414 <ul>
415 <li>Added in 1.3.4.2:
416   <ul>
417     <li>Type Decimal: Silly bug fixed.  0.0001 was converted to 0.1</li>
418     <li>CGIStub returns HTTP status 500 when returning SOAP Fault.
419         Returned 200 because I don't like this spec., but SOAP/1.2 W3C WD
420         9 July 2001 have adopted it.  Hmm...</li>
421     <li>RPC client(driver.rb): Exception#set_backtrace was omitted when transmitting exception by SOAP Fault.</li>
422   </ul>
423 </li>
424 <li>Types changed:
425   <ul>
426     <li>Array: Incomplete sparse array support.  Fixed.</li>
427     <li>Date: Added.</li>
428     <li>Time: Added.</li>
429     <li>DateTime: Added precision of time support.</li>
430     <li>String: Default data should not be nil but ''.</li>
431     <li>Nil: Attribute value of xsi:nil might be '1' instead of 'true'.  Fixed.</li>
432   </ul>
433 </li>
434
435 <li>Supported XML parser:
436   <ul>
437     <li>Added SOAPXMLParser and SOAPSAXDriver for XMLParser which uses expat.
438         You can get the module from RAA: <a href="http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/raa-list.rhtml?name=XMLParser">XMLParser module</a>.<br/>
439         To use XMLParser -&gt; add &quot;require 'soap/xmlparser'&quot;.<br/>
440         To use SAX driver of XMLParser -&gt; add &quot;require 'soap/saxdriver'&quot;.<br/>
441         To use NQXMLParser -&gt; nothing to do.<br/>
442         FYI:
443         <ul>
444           <li>XMLParser version is faster than others</li>
445           <li>SAXDriver version is extremely slow</li>
446           <li>NQXMLParser version is somewhat slower than XMLParser version</li>
447           <li>XMLParser is a Ruby extension module; To use it, you must compile and install it.</li>
448           <li>So far, automatic code conversion support is for XMLParser and SAXDriver.  See below.</li>
449         </ul>
450     </li>
451     <li>Added automatic CES conversion support: UTF-8 &lt;-&gt; EUC, SJIS.
452         Requires Uconv module.  Works with XMLParser module only now.</li>
453     <li>Added XMLDecl for CES.</li>
454   </ul>
455 </ul></dd>

463 <li>Types changed:
464   <ul>
465     <li>Boolean: Accepts 1 and 0 in addition to true and falue.</li>
466     <li>Float: handles single-precision 32-bit floating point.
467         Ruby's float is doule-precision.</li>
468     <li>Double: Added.  Mapped to Ruby's Float.</li>

521
522 <dt>1.3.0 - May 20, 2001</dt>
523 <dd><ul>
524 <li>Adopted
525 <a href="http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/raa-list.rhtml?name=NQXML">NQXML module</a>
526 instead of XMLParser module extensively.
527 (You can implement your SOAP parser with XMLParser module.
528 See the last part of lib/soap/parser.rb)
529 <ul>
530 <li>Use NQXML's streamingParser or tokenizer instead of XMLParser's DOMParser for unmarshalling.</li>
531 <li>Use NQXML's document instead of XMLParser's DOM for marshalling.</li>
532 </ul></li>
533 <li>Passed major(?) part of inteoperability test in
534 <a href="http://www.xmethods.net/ilab/">`SOAPBuilders Interoperability Lab.'</a>
535 See test/interop/README.txt.</li>
536 <li>Changed module namespace.  SOAPFoo -> SOAP::Foo.</li>
537 <li>Added float datatype support.</li>
538 <li>Changed dateTime marshalling format.  No timezone was added to marshalled string  because SOAP4R does not support timezone now.</li>
539 </ul></dd>
540
541 <dt>1.2.0 - March 30, 2001</dt>
542 <dd>Checked interoperability with
543 <a href="http://xml.apache.org/soap/">Apache-SOAP</a>,
544 <a href="http://www.pocketsoap.com">pocketSOAP/0.91</a>,
545 <a href="http://www.geocities.com/paulclinger/soap.html">SOAP::Lite for Perl</a>,
546 and <a href="http://www.develop.com/soap/">SOAP/Perl/0.28</a>.
547 It seems to work good except SOAP/Perl/0.28.
548
549 <ul>
550 <li>Added href/id unmarshalling support.
551 (href/id marshalling has not been supported yet)</li>
552 <li>Added SOAP's base64 type support.</li>
553 <li>SOAPTimeInstant -&gt; SOAPDateTime.  Following XML Schema PR.</li>
554 <li>SOAPStruct can have multiple accessor which have same name.
555 Should I separate it from original SOAPStruct?</li>
556 <li>Unknown attribute in Header Item raised an exception.  Omitted.</li>
557 <li>Router can handle methods which belong to different namespace.</li>
558 <li>Added an option to allow unqualified SOAP element.</li>
559 <li>Added Apache's Map type support.  Ruby's Hash are mapped to it now.
560 (Ruby's Hash marshalled by 1.1 processor in the old way can be unmarshalled,
561 but 1.2 processor marshals it in the new way and 1.1 processor does not
562 unmarshals it into Hash.  Incompatibility between SOAP4R/1.2 and 1.1)</li>
563 <li>Unknown type 'unknown:SOAPStruct' was incorrectly unmarshalled into SOAPStruct.  Fixed.</li>
564 <li>Added utility methods map! and members to SOAPArray and SOAPStruct.</li>
565 <li>Added methods request, response, and fault to SOAPBody.</li>
566 </ul></dd>
567
568 <dt>1.1.0 - March 23, 2001</dt>
569 <dd>Made many changes.
570 Since it is tested only for my limited use, please be careful to use.
571 Any comments especially "cannot connect to XXX implementation" are welcomed.
572 Feel free sending mail to
573 <a href="mailto:nakahiro@sarion.co.jp" class="path">nakahiro@sarion.co.jp</a>.
574
575 <ul>
576 <li>Added RPC server support.</li>
577 <li>Divided RPC client/server implementation from core.</li>
578 <li>Added Date, Hash type support. (Unknown type is converted to Struct as usual)</li>
579 <li>Adopted Date in date3.rb by Funaba-san instead of Time as TimeInstant.</li>
580 <li>Many encoding/decoding bugs around SOAPArray and SOAPStruct were fixed.</li>
581 </ul></dd>
582
583 <dt>1.0.2 - November 11, 2000</dt>
584 <dd>Since the previous package dated, refreshes some points.
585 <ul>
586 <li>Ruby: ruby 1.6.x</li>
587 <li>uri.rb: 4.22</li>
588 <li>sample: xml-soap/2.0</li>
589 </ul></dd>
590
591 <dt>1.0.1 - July 27, 2000</dt>
592 <dd>Handles SOAP/1.1 arrays.
593 1.0.0 cannot handles SOAP/1.1 arrays...
594 Bare in mind there still be many
595 <a href="#restrictions">restrictions</a>
596 around SOAP arrays.</dd>
597
598 <dt>1.0.0 - July 17, 2000</dt>
599 <dd>It is the initial released version of SOAP4R. :-)</dd>
