database API version 1.0 (&RCL; versions up to 1.18.1),
to version 2.0 (&RCL; 1.18.2 and later).</listitem>
<listitem>The <literal>recoll</literal> module became a
package (with an internal <literal>recoll</literal>
module) as of &RCL; version 1.19, in order to add more
functions. For existing code, this only changes the way
the interface must be imported.</listitem>
