I've now uploaded Xapian 1.0.1, which you can download from the usual
place:
http://www.xapian.org/download.php
This release mainly comprises bug fixes and performance improvements.
The "simple" examples (for both C++ and the bindings) have also been
overhauled and now use the QueryParser and TermGenerator classes, which
makes for simpler examples and should better reflect typical usage.
There are also a few documentation improvements.
For a broader overview see:
http://wiki.xapian.org/ReleaseOverview/1.0.1
The full list of user-visible changes is linked to from there, and are
also available via the "[news]" links on the download page.
As always, if you encounter problems, please report them here, or to
the bugtracker.
Cheers,
Olly

[Xapian-devel] Re: [Xapian-discuss] Xapian 1.0.1 released
(the original message was on the discuss list, but I thought it was better to switch on devel) Olly Betts a ?crit :> I've now uploaded Xapian 1.0.1, which you can download from the usual > place: >Olly, you're working to fast for me! I had collected some remarks I got after testing 1.0.0, but I did not send them fast enough. Most of them are very minor points. Here they are: 1. In xapian.php (php5), class XapianQuery, constants OP_AND and OP_ELITE_SET are defined as integers (0 and 10) and not as aliases of "flat constants" (query_OP_AND, query_OP_ELITE_SET) like others do. 2. On windows, from the php bindings, I can't use SimpleStopper (apache hangs). Defining the stopper works fine: XapianQueryParser->setStopper($simpleStopper) but then if I try to parse a query, apache hangs the first time it access the stopper. I guess it is very windows specific, perhaps something similar to the strings allocation problem we got with join(get_matching_terms()) in the past. I don't use the queryparser anymore but please let me know if I can help debugging this one... 3. I was surprised by the precedence of the "NOT" operator: QueryParser parses "a OR b NOT c" as "(a OR b) AND_NOT c" I thought it would have been "a OR (b AND_NOT c)" but I'm probably wrong as queryparser.lemony states that NOT has lower priority than OR... 4. Broken link On the page http://www.xapian.org/docs/ the link to "documentation of Xapian's internals" is broken. 5. Typo In http://www.xapian.org/docs/overview.html paragraph which starts with "A Xapian::Query::OP_MAYBE node transmits the documents" should read OP_AND_MAYBE That is just to give you some work and prevent you from releasing new versions so quickly ;-) More seriously, none of these points is blocking for me, it's just "to let you know"...

I know it's a bit late but I always was annoyed that make install will leave out the templates and the images. so I patched Makefile.am pkglibdir is now xapian-omega and not omega so I reverted back to /usr/lib/omega/bin also. 2007/6/11, Olly Betts <olly@survex.com>:> I've now uploaded Xapian 1.0.1, which you can download from the usual > place-- Reini Urban http://phpwiki.org/ http://murbreak.at/ http://spacemovie.mur.at/ http://helsinki.at/
