API

  • TermGenerator: Add new method TermGenerator::set_max_word_length() to allow this limit to be adjusted by the user.
  • QueryParser: Implicitly close any unclosed brackets at the end of the query string. Patch from Sehaj Singh Kalra.

Disk based databases

  • Close excess file handles before we get the fcntl lock, which avoids the lock being released again if one is open on the lock file. Notably this avoids a situation where multiple threads in the same process could succeed in locking a database concurrently.

xapian-replicate

  • Add a --full-copy option to force a full copy to be sent. (ticket#436)
  • Add --quiet option, and be a little more verbose by default.
  • Allow files > 32G to be be copied by replication.

Examples

  • quest: New --flags command line option to allow setting arbitrary QueryParser flags.

Omega

  • Fix to decode %-encoded character at the end of the query string.

CSharp

  • configure: Overhaul checks for C# tools to use modern names in preference.

PHP

  • Document that subclassing Xapian classes in PHP currently doesn't work with PHP 5.4.

Search::Xapian

  • Wrap 2 and 3 parameter forms of StringValueRangeProcessor constructor so prefixes and suffixes can be specified. (ticket#607)
  • Wrap the zero argument Query constructor.
  • Add wrappers for Query::MatchAll and Query::MatchNothing.
