<li>1.19.14 fixes two relatively minor but ennoying issues in indexing:
<ul>
<li>The use of a separate readonly Database object for querying
the index while indexing would trigger Xapian errors, (bad
block reads), and subsequent up-to-date check failures
(leading to unnecessary reindexing). The jury is out as to the
cause, but using the same object for reading and writing seems
to eliminate the problem.</li>
<li>An unnecessary log message in the child process between
forking and executing the filter could block on a mutex, and
lead to a 20 mn timeout for the affected father process thread
(happened only in multithread mode).</li>
</ul>
<li>Also a possible overflow of the filter stack. This could only
really happen in pathological situations (hand-crafted recursive
zip file...).</li>
</li>
<li>1.19.13 hopefully fixes the rare but longstanding multithread
indexing crashes, which I hope were actually due to the now
corrected mismanagement of Xapian::Document objects. It also
