Release Notes for 1.0.6

Please don't "report" new problems by adding them here as they may not be noticed. Instead use the bug tracker or mailing lists to report problems. You'll certainly get a much quicker response that way.

Any patch files linked to below have been generated with the diff utility, and can be applied with the patch utility to a source tree, which you'll then need to recompile and reinstall. If you aren't already familiar with applying patches, see these helpful instructions (courtesy of the Drupal project, but very little is Drupal-specific).

xapian-core

We made a mistake updating the library version information - the comment was updated to note that it should be 20:0:5 for 1.0.6, but left the actual value at 19:0:4.

This isn't really really bad as the two versions are upwardly compatible, but it does mean that there could be problems with applications using the new features in 1.0.6 (Unicode::toupper(), Query::OP_VALUE_GE, and Query::OP_VALUE_LE) which have been linked against vanilla 1.0.6 thinking they'll work fine with 1.0.5. Both Omega 1.0.6 and xapian-bindings 1.0.6 fall into this category.

We recommend applying this patch, particularly if you are packaging xapian-core:
