Release notes for Recoll 1.23.x

+ +

Caveats

+ +

Installing over an older version: 1.19-21

+ +

Some of the input handlers were converted from shell scripts + to Python programs, and some helper dependancies changed. For + example, you will need to install python-libxml2 and + python-libxslt1 in most cases (for replacing xsltproc).

+ +

1.20-23 indexes are fully compatible. Installing 1.23 + over an 1.19 index is possible, but there have been small + changes in the way compound words (e.g. email addresses) are + indexed, so it will be best to reset the index. Still, in a + pinch, 1.23 search can mostly use an 1.19 index.

+ +

Always reset the index if you do not know by which version it + was created (e.g.: you're not sure it's at least 1.18). The + best method is to quit all Recoll programs and delete the + index directory ( + rm -rf ~/.recoll/xapiandb), then start recoll + or recollindex.
+ + recollindex -z will do the same + in most, but not all, cases. It's better to use + the rm method, which will also ensure that no debris + from older releases remain (e.g.: old stemming files which are + not used any more).

+ +

Case/diacritics sensitivity is off by default. It can be + turned on only by editing + recoll.conf ( + + see the manual). If you do so, you must then reset the + index.

+ +

Changes in Recoll 1.23.0

+ +

Recoll 1.23 has few user-visible changes. The relase was + created mostly because some of the minor feature changes are + critical from some niche Recoll uses (e.g.: the improved audio + file properties indexing), and because the changes to the + logging system were too extensive for a minor version.
