<h1>Recoll journal of user-visible changes </h1>
<h2><a name="1.12.2">1.12.2</a></h2>
<h2><a name="1.13.0">Development version</a></h2>
<ul>
<li>Recoll has a new class of persistent external filters
with the capability to process several documents, or
multi-document files, in the same instance. Benefits: much
faster image tag indexing, and new file formats. Except for
the Perl image tag filter (because of ExifTool), the new
filters are written in Python.<li>
<li>New file formats: chm (microsoft help), zip archives, .ics
calendar files. Individual pages in chm files are indexed and
can be previewed. Zip is quite convenient for maildir
archives (for example).</li>
<li>Recoll can now use the output of the Beagle Firefox plugin
to index visited web pages and bookmarks. This is only usable
if Beagle itself is not running, else Recoll and Beagle will be
fighting for the same queue.</li>
<li>Big text files (like application logs) can now be paged for
indexing, avoiding excess memory usage during indexing and
improving the usability at query time. They can also be
altogether skipped by setting a maximum size configuration
parameter. These parameters have default values (1 MB and 20
MB) which change Recoll behaviour compared to previous
versions. You can set <i>textfilepagekbs</i>
and <i>textfilemaxmbs</i> to -1 in the configuration to
restore the old behaviour.</li>
<li>A cache was implemented for mbox message header offsets. This
speeds up message previews for big mbox files.</li>
<li>Miscellaneous usability improvements:
<ul>
<li>Allow using page-up/down and shift-home to scroll the
result list while the focus is in the search entry. </li>
<li>Make 'Use desktop preferences' the default for new
Recoll installations, and make this choice more
prominent in the external viewer dialog.</li>
<li>^P starts the print dialog on a preview window.</li>
<li>If a search has no result, alternate spellings are
suggested. This feature is still a bit raw and will be
improved.</li>
<li>If the text of a document is empty, preview will switch to
displaying the document fields.</li>
<li>New entry in the result list contextual menu for opening
the parent document of a result list hit with its native
application. Useful for exemple for pages inside chm files.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Indentation is now preserved when displaying text documents
inside the preview window. This is particularly welcome for
program source files.</li>
<li>Allow substituting arbitrary fields in the result
paragraph, using a %(fieldname) syntax</li>
<li>The real-time indexing monitor will now accumulate
modifications during 30&nbsp;S before indexing.</li>
<li>The indexer can now split camelCase words, allowing search on
component terms. This is not enabled by default as it can
confuse phrase searches (ie: "MySQL&nbsp;manual" is matched by
phrase queries for "my&nbsp;sql&nbsp;manual" and "MySQL&nbsp;manual"
but not "mysql&nbsp;manual"). Use "configure&nbsp;--enable-camelcase"
to activate it.
</li>
<li>The ipath is now printed by default after the url in the
default result list format.</li>
<li><i>recoll_noindex</i> and <i>skippedNames</i> can now be
changed at any point in the tree (only for topdirs previously).</li>
<li>Allow using location/application sensitivity in external viewer
choice. This uses several new functions:
<ul>
<li>Allow the substitution of arbitrary document fields inside
external viewer command line arguments.</li>
<li>Allow field values to be set on all documents
in a file system subtree. For example, you can
set an application tag (ie: rclaptg = gnus) on all mailbox
files under a specific directory.</li>
<li>New syntax in mimeview for including the rclaptg field in
viewer choice
(<i>mimetype</i>|<i>tagvalue</i>&nbsp;=&nbsp;...).</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Allow specifiying a specific default character set for mail
messages. This is mainly useful for readpst dumps. All
reasonable non-ascii messages specify their character set.</li>
<li>Added a --without-gui configure option. Removes all X11 and
Qt dependancies and only compiles the command-line interface.</li>
<li>Improved the kio_recoll build. There is no need to run
configure manually in the main directory any more. Ubuntu
packages for kio_recoll are now built on the
<a href="http://launchpad.net/~recoll-backports/+archive/ppa">
recoll-backports PPA on launchpad.net</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="1.12.4">1.12.4</a></h2>
<p>Bugs fixed:</p>
<ul>
<li>Qt4 version only: the search inside the preview window
could become unbearably slow for big documents (quadratically
so), and could not be interrupted (Qt bug). The Qt3 version of
the code was included in the preview tool to restore good
performance. This bug is the main reason for this release.</li>
</ul>
<p>Build system improvements:</p>
<ul>
<li>Perform minimal base package configuration inside the kio
cmake code to permit building it from scratch (without a build
of the main code). Mainly useful for builds on the Ubuntu
PPA.</li>
<li>Implement a --without-gui option to build a pure
command-line version with no Qt or X11 dependancies.</li>
<li>Ensure that the user's PATH settings determine where we
look first for qmake in all cases.</li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="1.12.3">1.12.3</a></h2>
<p>This is a bug fix release.</p>
<ul>
<li>Fix the sort tool which had been broken since 1.11 with
some (or all?) qt3 versions.<li>
<li>Catch two Xapian exceptions which could crash the GUI when a query
was run while the index was being updated.</li>
<li>Ensure that the result list right-click pop up menu will appear even
