Xapian discuss - Feb 2010 - Xapian 1.0.18 released

I've uploaded Xapian 1.0.18 (including Search::Xapian 1.0.18.0), which
as usual you can download from:

http://xapian.org/download

The most notable changes in this release are:

QueryParser:

* Improve support for languages such as Burmese which use Unicode enclosing
  mark and combining spacing mark characters. 

Flint backend:

* When updating documents, don't update posting entries which haven't
changed
  (ticket#250). 

* Fix locking code to work if stdin and/or stdout have been closed. 

The full lists of user-visible changes are linked to from here, and from the
"[news]" links on the download page:

Just a note to say I will be releasing Win32 build files and packages as 
soon as possible, I'm currently deep in the code modifying the 
dependency checker for Windows. In the meantime the build files in 
Xapian's SVN repository will probably work OK.

Cheers

Hi all,

Prebuilt binaries for Windows and associated build files for MSVC are 
now available at http://www.flax.co.uk/xapian_windows.shtml

Apologies for the delay.

Cheers

In my application a prepare a "new" document, search the index for and
existing one and call replace_document with the new document if it
should be replaced. If the documents does not differ much, will the
optimization apply in this case? Or is it only when doing modifications
to existing documents?
