<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 really weird terms). 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 -rf ~/.recoll/xapiandb</span>). <span class="literal">recollindex -z</span>
|
|
will do the same in most cases.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Changes</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Recoll 1.16 current change list:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li>We can now perform negative directory filtering (-dir:/some/dir),
|
|
to return all results except those from the
|
|
specified directory (recursive). Other attempts at still
|
|
impossible negative searches
|
|
(ie: <span class="literal">-mime:</span>) now cause explicit
|
|
errors messages instead of lame results. The inverted
|
|
directory filtering is accessible from the query language
|
|
and by checking a checkbox in the advanced search
|
|
panel.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>It is now possible to set an increased weight for indexing
|
|
some fields. The title fields gets a boost by default. See
|
|
the <tt>fields</tt> default file for details.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>The query language allows setting weights on terms, ie,
|
|
as in: <tt>"important"2.5</tt> .</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>The GUI advanced search panel allows specifying a
|
|
field for each entry (ie: author/recipient, etc).</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>It is possible to configure the result list snippet
|
|
separator, given as an html fragment. This is an ellipsis by
|
|
default (&hellip;). </li>
|
|
|
|
<li>The preview window popup menu has a "save to file" entry
|
|
to write a subdocument (ie: mail attachement) to a file.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Images are displayed in preview. You can get at the fields
|
|
and complete extracted text using the popup menu.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Improved preservation of indentation for text files
|
|
displayed in the preview window.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Show hidden (dot) files in the indexing configuration
|
|
GUI dialogs.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Added filters for .war (Konqueror web archive) and .mhtm (other web
|
|
archive format).</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Improved handling for native cjk punctuation signs.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Updated the list of native apps in the
|
|
default <tt>mimeview</tt> (ie: xv->gwenview, rox->dolphin,
|
|
etc.)</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Added -f option to recollindex to ignore
|
|
skippedPaths/Names when used with -i. Allows the use of a
|
|
purely external file selection mechanism.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Result table:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The detail area now has a popup menu similar
|
|
to the one in the result list (open parent, save to disk
|
|
etc.).</li>
|
|
<li>Estimated result counts are displayed in the status line.</li>
|
|
<li>Set row height according to default font size, and better
|
|
adjust row height and vertical text position in
|
|
cells.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Real time indexer: several configuration
|
|
parameters allow adjusting the timing of indexing actions:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><tt>monauxinterval</tt>: the interval between auxiliary
|
|
databases rebuilds (stemdb, aspell).</li>
|
|
<li><tt>monixinterval</tt>: The waiting period
|
|
during which indexing events are accumulated prior to actual
|
|
indexing (saves work on duplicate events).</li>
|
|
<li><tt>mondelaypatterns</tt>: a list of file patterns for
|
|
which indexing should be delayed longer (quick changing
|
|
files like logs that should be reindexed much slower than
|
|
they change).</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
See the default configuration file for more detail.
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Fixed bugs:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>UTF-8 paths inside ZIP archives were mishandled. Also
|
|
fixes problem with colons inside archive member
|
|
paths.</li>
|
|
<li>Fixed GUI result list doc parent operations (open/preview)
|
|
which were broken in 1.15.</li>
|
|
<li>Fixed case where indexing could hang or crash after an
|
|
error occured while indexing an archive member (which
|
|
should have affected only the relevant document).</li>
|
|
<li>Real time indexer: uncontrolled concurrent access to
|
|
the global configuration could cause a startup crash (mostly of
|
|
big file trees because of timing issues).</li>
|
|
<li>Fixed sorting by document and file size in the result
|
|
table.</li>
|
|
<li>Email messages for which there would be an error indexing
|
|
an attachment would not be indexed at all.</li>
|
|
<li>Text files bigger than 2 GB could not be indexed.</li>
|
|
<li>Fixed the handling of compressed man pages.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
</ul>
