<h1>Release notes for Recoll 1.16.x</h1>
<p><em>Note:</em> No release has been made yet in this
series. This document documents the progress of development, and
the state of snapshots sometimes found on the download page, in
a form which will hopefuly be found easier to read than the
Mercurial changelog on BitBucket.</p>
<h2>Caveats</h2>
<p><em>Installing over an older version</em>: 1.16 is
mostly compatible with 1.15 indexes, except for a few differences
for weird terms containing punctuation signs. Perform a full index
pass if installing over an older version. The simplest way to do
this is to quit all recoll programs and just delete the index
directory (<span
class="literal">rm&nbsp;-rf&nbsp;~/.recoll/xapiandb</span>). <span
class="literal">rm&nbsp;-rf&nbsp;~/.recoll/xapiandb</span>), then
start recoll or recollindex. <span
class="literal">recollindex&nbsp;-z</span> will do the same in most
cases.</p>
