<h1>Release notes for Recoll 1.23.x</h1>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Caveats</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p><em>Installing over an older version</em>: 1.19-21 </p>
|
||
|
||
<p>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).</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>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. </p>
|
||
|
||
<p>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 (<span class="literal">
|
||
rm -rf ~/.recoll/xapiandb</span>), then start <code>recoll</code>
|
||
or <code>recollindex</code>. <br>
|
||
|
||
<span class="literal">recollindex -z</span> will do the same
|
||
in most, but not all, cases. It's better to use
|
||
the <tt>rm</tt> method, which will also ensure that no debris
|
||
from older releases remain (e.g.: old stemming files which are
|
||
not used any more).</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Case/diacritics sensitivity is off by default. It can be
|
||
turned on <em>only</em> by editing
|
||
recoll.conf (
|
||
<a href="usermanual/usermanual.html#RCL.INDEXING.CONFIG.SENS">
|
||
see the manual</a>). If you do so, you must then reset the
|
||
index.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Changes in Recoll 1.23.0</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>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.</p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
|
||
<li>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.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Configuration: some list configuration variables,
|
||
namely <tt>skippedNames</tt>, <tt>noContentSuffixes</tt>,
|
||
and <tt>xallexcepts</tt>, have acquired variants suffixed
|
||
with <tt>+</tt> or <tt>-</tt> 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.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>New <tt>nomd5types</tt> 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.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Unicode BOM detection for text files</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Allow using full CSS style for term highlighting, not just
|
||
color.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li><em>execm</em> input handlers now have an alternate method
|
||
to set metadata fields, easier than HTML meta fields.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
