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.

+ +
    + +
  • Internal only: the code now uses some C++11 features + (e.g. std::threads, std::mutex) to replace home-grown + hacks. In consequence, a C++11 compiler is now required for + building.
    • + +
  • Configuration: some list configuration variables, + namely skippedNames, noContentSuffixes, + and xallexcepts, have acquired variants suffixed + with + or - for adding or removing + values from the default value, which is a longish list, + which hence does not need to be copied for modification any + more.
    • + +
  • New nomd5types variable for listing types of + files for which we should not compute an MD5 hash (used for + duplicates detection). See the manual for details. The + default list excludes the audio file types.
    • + +
  • Unicode BOM detection for text files
    • + +
  • Allow using full CSS style for term highlighting, not just + color.
    • + +
  • execm input handlers now have an alternate method + to set metadata fields, easier than HTML meta fields.
    • +
+ +
