<p>Recoll 1.18 has some major changes, the most visible of
which is the ability to search for exact matches of character case
and diacritics.</p>
<p>Recoll 1.18.0 changes:</p>
<ul>
<li>The index can now be configured for case and diacritics
sensitivity. Raw terms are indexed, and query time expansions
are used when search insensitivity is designed (in a similar
manner to what is used for stemming). See the chapter
manual for details about controlling the feature.</li>
sensitivity, in which case raw terms are indexed. On such an
index, search insensitivity to case and diacriics is obtained,
when desired, by query time expansion, in a similar manner to
what is used for stemming. See the
<a href="usermanual/usermanual.html#RCL.INDEXING.CONFIG.SENS">
manual chapter for details</a> about controlling the
feature.</li>
<li>More effort is put in choosing the terms used in
generating the snippets inside the result list.</li>
<li>Capacity to store page breaks and use them when opening a
document.</li>
<li>Capacity to pass a search string to the native app.</li>
<li>New "snippets" window for documents with page numbers, let
the user choose a snippet and open the document at the
appropriate page.</li>
<li>We now use the Xapian "synonyms" mechanism to store all
data about stemming, case, and diacritics expansion (this
replace the previous ad-hoc stemming expansion mechanism).</li>
<li>Recoll has a new capacity to store page break locations
and use them when opening a document at the location for a
given match. This currently works with PDF, Postscript and DVI
documents, and the <b>evince</b> viewer.</li>
<li>New script to start/stop recollindex according to mains
power status.</li>
<li>Add &lt;pre style="white-space: pre-wrap"&gt; to plain
text HTML display options.</li>
<li>Allow multiple directory specifications in the query
<li>Recoll can now also pass a search string to the native
application.</li>
<li>The GUI result list has a new "snippets" window for
documents with page numbers, which let the user choose a
snippet and open the document at the appropriate page.</li>
<li>We now allow multiple directory specifications in the query
language, as in: <i>dir:/home/me -dir:tmp</i></li>
<li>Improved search in the preview window, allows selecting
one of the initial search clauses from a list.</li>
<li>The search inside the GUI preview window, has been
improved, and allows selecting from a list one of the
initial term groups as the search target.</li>
<li>A new script dedicated to laptops, which can start or stop
recollindex according to mains power status.</li>
<li>Added &lt;pre style="white-space: pre-wrap"&gt; to plain
text HTML display options. This will often be the best
option to display plain text: it will better respect
indentation, while folding long lines.</li>
<li>When running in an UTF-8 locale, and after decoding a
plain text file as UTF-8 fails, indexing will try again
using an 8bit character set heuristically chosen according
to the locale country code.</li>
<li>A new configuration, maxmemberkbs, has been implemented to
limit the size of archive members we process. This will avoid
recoll trying to read a 4 GB ISO from a zip archive...</li>
<li>Proper error reporting when a wildcard expansion is
truncated for size. An incomplete search could previously be
performed without any indication.</li>
<li>More effort is also put in choosing the terms used in
generating the snippets inside the result list.</li>
<li>Recoll now uses the Xapian "synonyms" mechanism to store all
data about stemming, case, and diacritics expansion (this
replaces the previous ad-hoc stemming expansion
mechanism).</li>
<li>Partial autodetection of thunderbird mailboxes found out
of the configured location.</li>
<li>Implemented a list of mime types that should be opened
with the locally configured application even when <em>Use
Desktop Preferences</em> is checked. This will permit, for
example, using evince for its page access capabilities on
PDF files, while letting the desktop handle all the other
mime types.</li>
<li>Fixed bugs:
