+                
+  * New release 1.24.1.
+  * New snippets generation method, using document text stored in the index
+    (default only for new indexes and Xapian 1.4, can be forced by setting
+    iindexStoreDocText and deleting the old index). 
+  * New range queries : fieldname:min..max, usable only if the field has
+    been appropriately configured. 
+  * Improved support for removable volumes.
+  * It is now  possible to use a readonly index directory for searches.
+  * CHM and EPUB indexing: add chmcatenate and epubcatenate to specify that
+    the contents should be indexed as a whole instead of broken up in
+    chapters (resulting in a single search result for the document). 
+  * Added -L option to recoll for forcing message language, overriding NLS
+    environment. 
+  * Fixed clicks on orthographic suggestions which did not work any more
+    with qt5. 
+  * All input handlers should now be compatible with Python3, but still use
+    Python2. 
+  * New idxtexttruncatelen configuration variable to only index the
+    beginning of documents. 
+  * Fixes "error 9 on netlink descriptor" GUI crash
