<p><em>Installing over an older version</em>: version 1.12 indexes are
mostly compatible with 1.11, but some new, relatively minor,
features (ie: duplicates collapsing) depend on a full index
rebuild.
<br>If installing over 1.10 or older, you need a full
rebuild. The best way to do this is to just delete the old
xapiandb directory, especially if the index was created by an
older version.
(ie: <tt>rm&nbsp;-rf&nbsp;~/.recoll/xapiandb/</tt>). On very
old indexes, <tt>recollindex&nbsp;-z</tt> may sometimes end
with a <em>backend doesn't implement metadata</em> error,
which is wasteful because you then need to delete xapiandb and
run the indexing again.</p>

Version 1.11 has relatively <a href="CHANGES.html">extensive
changes</a> (<a href="pics/recoll0.png">pic</a>), and needs an
index reset after installing over an 1.10 or older
version. For an existing installation you can use option -z to
the command line indexer: <tt>recollindex&nbsp;-z</tt>, or
just delete the old index directory
(ie: <tt>rm&nbsp;-rf&nbsp;~/.recoll/xapiandb/</tt>). The
latter option may be safer with old indexes. If the first
1.11 indexing ends with an error like <em>backend doesn't
implement metadata</em>, you certainly need to do it.</p>
