<h2><a name="b_latest">recoll 1.16.1</a></h2>
<ul>
<li>Indexing can crash on files with weird names (inconsistent with the
locale) for which the format of the "file -i" command is
unexpected. This is probably dependant on the type of system
and/or locale. Workaround: arrange for the offending file
not to be indexed (move it away or configure it out), or
apply <a href="patch-badfileoutput.diff">this patch</a>,
which should work with all versions from 1.13 to 1.16.1</li>
<li>Under certain conditions, the indexer can use all
available memory and crash. This is caused by a memory leak
in an error handling path inside unac, and can only be
triggered in specific conditions (all cases seen were from
files inside zip archives). Workaround: arrange for the
offending file not to be indexed (move it away or configure
it out), or apply <a href="patch-unac-icclose.diff">this
patch</a>, which should work with all versions from 1.13 to
1.16.1</li>
<li>Real time indexer: when running with gamin on FreeBSD, the
indexer can deadlock in the gamin dialog in some
cases.</li>
<li>Real time indexer: file move events were not detected when
running with inotify (at least for recent
versions). Workaround: restart indexer from time to time.</li>
<li>Real time indexer: directory moves are not handled at
all. Workaround: restart indexer from time to time.</li>
<li>Recollq does not delete a temporary directory in some
cases (/tmp/rcl...).</li>
<li>Cancelling a preview in the GUI will also cancel the indexing
thread if it is running.</li>
<li>After an upgrade, the recoll GUI sometimes crashes on
startup. This is fixed by removing (back it up just in case)
~/.config/Recoll.org/recoll.conf, the QSettings storage for
recoll.</li>
<li>Compressed man pages could not be previewed.</li>
recoll.</li>
<li>Most GUI queries are actually ran two times which does not
help performance...</li>
<li>Under Solaris, it is necessary to perform the initial
indexing with the recollindex program. For some unknown reason,
the recoll index thread does not work for creating the database.
The only idea I have is a problem with exception handling (recoll
catches an exception while trying the yet inexistant db).</li>
<li>The default filter for files in Microsoft Word format
(application/msword, .doc), antiword, has trouble with some
relatively rare files with a very small text, resulting in the
following error message:
<blockquote>
I'm afraid the text stream of this file is too small to
handle.
</blockquote>
Only small files produced by Microsoft Word on a Mac, or by
OpenOffice will trigger this message.<br>
<b>Workaround</b>: install wvWare and modify
mimeconf to use the rcldoc filter (instead of directly
executing antiword). Rcldoc will try antiword, then will use
vwWare if it is available. This will result in slightly
slower indexing for all normal .doc files.</li>
