If installing over 1.10 or older, you need a full

- Version 1.11 has relatively extensive
- changes (pic), 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: recollindex -z, or
- just delete the old index directory
- (ie: rm -rf ~/.recoll/xapiandb/). The
- latter option may be safer with old indexes. If the first
- 1.11 indexing ends with an error like backend doesn't
- implement metadata, you certainly need to do it.
