<h1><a href="http://www.recoll.org/">Recoll</a> is

|
|
|
|
<p>It is based on the very strong <a href=

|
|
provides a feature-rich yet easy to use front-end with a Qt

|
|

<p><span class="application">Recoll</span> is free, open source,

<a class="important" href="download.html">1.16.2</a>

(<a href="release-1.16.html">Release notes</a>).</p>
|

<p class="remark">Recoll will index an <b>MS-Word</b> document stored as
|
|
an <b>attachment</b> to an <b>e-mail message</b> inside
|
|
a <b>Thunderbird folder</b> archived in a <b>Zip file</b>
|
|
(and more...). It will also let you open a copy of the file
|
|
without any fuss. There is little that will remain hidden on
|
|
your disk.

<ul>
|
|
<li>2011-11-26: the result list glitch: ennoying and easily
|
|
worked-around: it will sometimes happen (for a yet
|
|
undetermined reason) that the result list paragraph format
|
|
stored in the Qt preferences file will get garbled,
|
|
causing result lists with no displayed paragraphs (the
|
|
counts and pages are ok, the results can be seen in table
|
|
mode, but not in list mode). The workaround is to go to
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
Preferences->Query configuration->User interface
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
and erase the result paragraph format string (^A DEL in the text area),
|
|
this will reset the string to the default value.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>2011-11-07: release <a href="download.html#source">1.16.2</a>
|
|
is out. It fixes a number of <a href="BUGS.html#b_1_16_1">
|
|
bugs</a> in 1.16.1, ranging from small to ennoying depending on
|
|
usage.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>2011-09-28: release <a href="download.html#source">1.16.1</a>
|
|
is out. It fixes a GUI crash in 1.16.0 (see below) and a lyx filter
|
|
issue.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<div class="important">
|
|
<p>Notice for 1.16.0: the
|
|
<tt>recoll</tt> GUI program sometimes crashes when running a query
|
|
while the indexing thread is active. You should upgrade
|
|
to 1.16.1</p>
|

</div>

|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>2011-09-03: release <a href="download.html#source">1.16.0</a>
|
|
is out with many <a href="release-1.16.html">small improvements</a>
|
|
over 1.15. </li>
|
|
|
|
<li>2011-05-29: release
|
|
<a href="download.html#source">1.15.9</a> fixes a startup
|
|
crash in 1.15.8. This occurs only on some architectures, and
|
|
if you are not experiencing the problem (it happens every
|
|
time if at all), you do not need to upgrade.
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>2010-11-20 : wrote a small script so that recoll can be
|
|
activated or hidden with a single keystroke on the gnome
|
|
desktop. See the
|
|
<a href="http://bitbucket.org/medoc/recoll/wiki/HotRecoll">
|
|
installation recipee here</a>.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>2010-01-29 : the full Recoll source repository is now
|
|
hosted on
|
|
<a href="http://bitbucket.org/medoc/recoll">Bitbucket</a>,
|
|
along with a Wiki
|
|
(<a href="http://bitbucket.org/medoc/recoll/wiki/FaqsAndHowTos">
|
|
Faqs and Howtos</a>) and an
|
|
<a href="http://bitbucket.org/medoc/recoll/issues">
|
|
issues tracking system</a>. Hopefully, this
|
|
new channel for reporting bugs and make suggestions will
|
|
increase the feedback rate...</li>
