Revision history for RIB.

1.2 Wed May 13 16:29:54 EDT 1998
	- fixed a problem where the destination of a relationship in
 	  the html for an object sometimes pointed at either a
	  nonexistant url or an html page in a different repository
	  (thus causing the repository visitor to lose context).
	  This problem only affected relationship urls that pointed 
	  outside of the repository that contained the source object.

1.2 Fri Apr 24 15:18:58 EDT 1998
	- fixed a bug in ConfigParser.pm where ".." was substituted
	  into urls incorrectly.

	- changed list_local_links.pl so that it prints the header
	  "Content-type: text/plain" instead of "Content-type: text/html"

1.2 Tue Feb 24 17:41:15 EST 1998
	- made minor changes to documentation in upload/mirroring
	  section

	- changed element.uniqueid to be dtype "url" in *.conf

1.2 Fri Jan 23 15:36:13 EST 1998
	- added the RIB quick start guide and added pointers to this
	  document to the RIB interface

	- made a lot of adjustments to the 'make update' command in
	  Makefile.PL

1.2 Thu Jan 22 12:55:07 EST 1998
	- cleaning up Makefile.PL - some of the prompts were a little
	  misleading.

	- changed Makefile.PL so that the RIB modules are not installed
	  into the perl distribution directory.  instead the modules
	  are now always placed into RIBDIR/lib

1.2 Wed Jan 21 13:24:51 EST 1998
	- added file upload and mirroring functionality to RIB.
	  This is a major improvement over the last version of
	  RIB and required many changes to the code.  new scripts
	  were added - manage_software_files.pl, lwp-download.pl,
	  admin_repository.pl, update_mirrors.pl, and
	  check_disk_space.pl which each do what their name implies.

	- updated the help.html user documentation to document the
	  new upload and mirroring features.  Also made other minor
	  changes to the documentation for clarity.

	- added a new attribute to the Asset class in the Simple.conf
	  BIDM configuration file (which is the default configuration
	  file for a newly created repository).  This attribute was
	  added so that the upload feature can be used more closely
	  with the cataloging procedure of RIB.  After a file has
	  been uploaded a link appears in the software management
	  page which allows the user to jump into the Asset creation
	  form with the File attribute already filled in.  That is
	  unless the configuration file for that repository contains
	  the Element class, and then the script jumps into the
	  Element creation form with the UniqueID field filled in.

	- took out all references that looked like <a target=whatever ...>
	  from the html generated by the RIB scripts.  Jumping out
	  to a new browser seemed like a good thing until too many
	  browsers makes things confusing.  Also, the browser which
	  loads the url doesn't raise to the foreground if the browser
	  already exists (this can be quite confusing).

1.2 Mon Dec 29 12:01:32 EST 1997
	- changed create_repository.pl so that the version number is not hardcoded
	  but instead uses $RIB::Util::VERSION.  This version number is put in the
	  default main.header for a new repostiory.

	- modified create_repository.pl so that it makes a 'files' directory.  this
	  is where file uploads will be put.

1.0.1 Thu Dec 18 13:47:47 EST 1997
	- changed gen_catlog so that it prints the version of RIB that
	  the catalog was generated with on the main catalog page

	- updated the version number in Util.pm.DIST, help.html, and 
	  any other scripts that talk about the version number

1.0.1 Wed Dec 17 15:03:26 EST 1997
	- fixed bug in ConfigParser.pm.  When an Asset was linked to from a
	  repository under the same rib installation as the source repository,
	  urls for relationships weren't pointing to the correct location.  They
	  were pointing towards a (nonexistant) object in the local repository
	  rather than the object in the foreign repository.

	- Commented out the part of ConfigParser which makes a HEAD request
	  before assuming that the html for the destination object is already
	  there.  This created too much traffic and logging garbage.

	- Changed gen_catalog so that the input box for the search on the top level
	  catalog page isn't so wide.  changed to SIZE=45

	- updated conf/NHSE.conf to remove an extraneous relationship
          (RecordMaintainedBy) from the RigObject class.

	- fixed a bug in install_file.pl which caused the header/footer file on
	  the verification page to be encoded in the <input> box but not in the
	  regular body of the page.

	- fixed a bug in gen_catalog which caused the documents in catalog/ to
	  be indexed instead of the documents in catalog/*/

	- added a note to edit_object.pl that tells the user that they need
	  to update the catalog if the object was an asset and if a catalog
	  currently exists.

	- changed add_nonlocal_link.pl to not be so strict in checking the urls
	  before it attempts to add them.  it no longer counts a url that's
	  already in the repository as an error leading towards exit

	- changed ConfigParser.pm so that objectashtml() prints relationships
	  separated with <br>'s.  When a realtionship had more than one value
          they were all on the same line.

	-  updated DomainParser.pm to sort entries in the catalog by the name of
	   the Asset rather than the filename (md5s of nonlocals alerted
	   us to this problem because the filename didn't look like the name).
     
1.0.1 Tue Dec 16 17:17:35 EST 1997
	- changed create_repository.pl so that it doesn't ask if you want
          to delete another repository when there aren't any more to delete.

1.0.1 Wed Dec 10 13:38:04 EST 1997
	- fixed a bug in gen_catalog that prevented the main.footer from
          being appeded to the top level catalog.

1.0 Wed Nov 12 14:24:21 EST 1997
	- Catalog records for classes of the BIDM now
          get created separately.

	- Under the catalog directory, there are now directories
	  for each class in the BIDM, just like in the objects
	  directory.

	- Added the following new scripts for easier interoperation.

	    cgi-scripts/add_nonlocal_link.pl
	    cgi-scripts/check_nonlocal_links.pl
	    cgi-scripts/delete_nonlocal_link.pl
	    cgi-scripts/list_local_links.pl
	    cgi-scripts/list_nonlocal_links.pl
	    cgi-scripts/view_nonlocal_links.pl

	- The format of the .nonlocal directory has changed.

	- Added more stuff to the user's guide.

	- the create action for creating asset descriptions
	  jumps directly to creating a local asset, while the
	  import action has moved to it's own function. Adding
	  a link has moved to the interoperating section.

	- Added new scripts to the pub directory that enables
          other RIB installations to list the local and nonlocal
  	  assets of a repository: list_local_links.pl,  and
	  list_nonlocal_links.pl.

0.9.1 Thur May 29 17:39:43 EDT 1997
	- migrated admin scripts to separate directory to allow
	  better access control.

0.9  Mon Apr 28 17:11:54 EDT 1997
	- original version
