+Xapian-core 1.0.8 (2008-09-04):
 
 API:
 
+* Fix output of RSet::get_description
 
 testsuite:
 
-
-matcher:
-
+* Report subtotals per backend, rather than per testgroup per backend to make
+  the output easier to read.
 
 flint backend:
 
-        * Backport change from trunk:
-        * backends/flint/flint_database.cc,backends/flint/flint_values.cc,
-          backends/flint/flint_values.h: Fix WritableDatabase::add_document()
-          and replace_document() not to be O(n*n) in the number of values in
-          the new document.
-        * tests/api_wrdb.cc: Add testcase bigoaddvalue to make sure we don't
-          regress to O(n*n) (or worse!)
-
-        * Backport changes from trunk:
-        * backends/flint/flint_table.cc: Fix handling of a table created
-          lazily after the database has had commits, and which is then
-          cursored while still in sequential mode.
-        * tests/api_wrdb.cc: Add testcase lazytablebug1.
-        * tests/api_wrdb.cc: Rewrite lazytablebug1 testcase to avoid having
-          to run xapian-compact.
-
-        * backends/flint/flint_cursor.cc: Fix FlintCursor::del() to leave the
-          cursor on the next key when iterating over the unflushed revision
-          (previously the cursor would end up an extra key along in this
-          case).  (Bug#287)
-        * tests/api_wrdb.cc: Add regression test cursordelbug1.
+* Fix WritableDatabase::add_document() and replace_document() not to be O(n*n)
+  in the number of values in the new document.
+
+* Fix handling of a table created lazily after the database has had commits,

+
+* Fix failure to remove all the Btree entries in some cases when all the
+  postings for a term are removed.  (bug#287)
+
+* xapian-inspect: Show the help message on start-up.  Correct the documented
+  alias for next from ' ' to ''.  Avoid reading outside of input string when it
+  is empty.  (bug#286)
 
 quartz backend:
 
-        * backends/quartz/quartz_database.cc,backends/quartz/quartz_values.cc,
-          backends/quartz/quartz_values.h: Backport fix from flint for
-          WritableDatabase::add_document() and replace_document() not to be
-          O(n*n) in the number of values in the new document.
-
-remote backend:
-
-
-inmemory backend:
-
+* Backport fix from flint for WritableDatabase::add_document() and
+  replace_document() not to be O(n*n) in the number of values in the new
+  document.
 
 build system:
 
+* configure: Report bug report URL in --help output.
+
+* xapian-config: Report bug report URL in --help output.
+
+* configure: Fix deprecation error for --enable-debug=full to say to instead
+  use '--enable-assertions --enable-log' not '--enable-debug --enable-log'.
 
 documentation:
 
-        * docs/admin_notes.rst: Fix a typo.
+* valueranges.html: Expand on some sections.
 
 examples:
 
+* quest: Fix to catch QueryParserError instead of const char * which
+  QueryParser threw in Xapian < 1.0.0.
+
+* copydatabase: Use C++ forms of C headers.  Only treat '\' as a directory
+  separator on platforms where it is.  Update counter every 13 counting up to
+  the end so that the digits all "rotate" and the counter ends up on the exact
+  total.
 
 portability:
 
-        * Backport change from trunk:
-        * tests/api_wrdb.cc: Eliminate literal top-bit-set characters.
