Message:

New yaz 2.1.56 was needed to get GS2 compiling to work again on Macs after going from producing dynamic linked to statically linked gnome-lib libraries. The new yaz finally compiles (see recent and current commits). Tested z3950server (built by configuring with --enable-z3950) against built yaz-client, and tested GLI's use of yaz-client against Library of Congress' z3950 server. It all works. Need to test Windows next.

 The YAZ toolkit is used by the GSDL receptionist
 when acting as a z39.50 client.

+4. We've moved to Yaz-2.1.56, ak19
+End Oct 2016
+
+EXPLANATION: We've moved to this slightly newer version, the newest in 2.1.* but without changing major version numbers, in order to get a version of yaz that compiles on Macs after changes to make (gnome-lib) libraries statically linked rather than dymamically linked libraries needed for El Capitan.
+
+MODIFIED FILE: yaz-2.1.56/client/client.c
+Still require the same change as in number 3 below.
+
+Ahead of changing to a newer yaz, we've also made changes to the runtime-src/src's z3950 and recpt Makefile.in files, to grab whatever dependencies yaz's configuration step worked out for its Makefile, and then using the same for linking libyaz in z3950 and recept to.
+
+TESTED: bin/linux/z3950server (compile after configuring with --enable-z3950) against yaz-client. Then also tested GLI with Library of Congress's z3950 server at lx2.loc.gov at port 210.
