Ferret talk - Aug 2006 - Ferret 0.10.0 bugs

Hi all !

Is Ferret 0.10.0 realy stable ?
Because I converted all my code to the new API and many strange things 
appened.

For exemple this, when I run a import script :

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ferret-0.10.0/lib/ferret/index.rb:98:in 
`initialize'': End-of-File Error occured at <except.c>:103 in 
xpop_context (EOFError)
Error occured in store.c:197 - is_refill
        current pos = 20, file length = 20

Or when I search something and obtained 10 documents, printed via a web 
page. Then  I ask the details of some documents (1, 2, or 3) via an AJAX 
request and sometimes the query for the second record failed (Document 
not found), sometimes it''s the third. If I try 5s after, it works. Very
very strange, isn''t it ?

With 0.9.4 and 0.9.5, my app was stable.

Any ideas ?

Thanks.

PS: I''ve tested on 2 diffrent host, two linux i686.

this seems to be because of an old (Ferret 0.9) index. Deleting and 
rebuilding your index should fix this.

No, not yet. It was a significant rewrite and this is the first
release. There are 20,000 lines of C code in there that have only been
run through my unit tests and this is there first time out in public.
However, it is designed to fit in with the Ruby bindings a lot better
and I''ve put more work into making it portable so with
everyone''s help
it should soon be a lot more stable than previous versions.

Cheers,
Dave

No, David already fixed some bugs after 0.10.0. I don''t know when a new
gem will be released.

Thanks a lot for your answer David.
I will post some small buggy ruby script for your tests.
Maybe today or tommorow.
