I've uploaded Xapian 1.0.6, which as usual you can download from:
http://www.xapian.org/download.php
Some highlights:
This release adds the ability to perform single-ended value range checks.
The stemmers have been sped up (by around 2.5%).
xapian-check and xapian-compact now handle user metadata better.
We now update the base files atomically to avoid problems with reading
processes finding partially written ones.
Lazily created tables now get the correct revision.
OS/2 support has been integrated.
omindex now supports indexing DjVu files.
Three new OmegaScript commands have been added: $addfilter, $lower, $upper.
The Python module now always has the extension which Python expects, which
fixes a problem on Mac OS X.
For an broader overview see:
http://wiki.xapian.org/ReleaseOverview/1.0.6
The full lists of user-visible changes are 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.
Search::Xapian 1.0.6.0 and Debian and Ubuntu packages should follow
later this week.
Cheers,
Olly

I can confirm databases with metadata are compacted correctly, except that, AFAICT, this metadata is not carried over to the compacted database. Shall I file a bug report ? Fabrice

Alexandre, Been wanting to thank you for building these over the past n releases. Absolutely invaluable!

I've just noticed that I made a mistake updating the library versioning
information in Xapian 1.0.6. I updated the comment to note that it was
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.
I recommend applying this patch, particularly if you are packaging
xapian-core:
http://oligarchy.co.uk/xapian/patches/xapian-1.0.6-fix-library_version_info.patch
I haven't released updated Debian or Ubuntu packages yet, and I don't
think the RPMs have on xapian.org have been updated either (neither are
accessible currently anyway because of the server issues).
I'm going to see if I can find a way to automatically check this has
been updated to prevent this happening again.
Cheers,
Olly

OP_SCALE_WEIGHT, OP_VALUE_GE, OP_VALUE_LE, and the corresponding Query constructor overloads are now wrapped. The optional prefix argument to WritableDatabase::allterms_begin() and WritableDatabase::allterms_end() is now wrapped. We've added a workaround to avoid problems from accessing deleted Sorter objects. And the documentation has been improved. The Debian and Ubuntu packages won't be out for a bit longer. The main issue is I can't get my desktop box to boot since shipping it, and that is all set up for building them - in particular it has the archive signing key on. The disks should be OK as I took them in hand luggage but I don't currently have a way to read data off them! It'll also be simpler to upload packages once the webserver is sorted out properly again. Hopefully that'll happen fairly soon. Cheers, Olly

I got it all working now, thanks Charlie for your awesome work. Here is a tip that others might over look. Be sure and add zlib1.dll to your C:\WINDOWS\system directory or you will get a very unhelpful error from the bindings about not being able to find dependencies without it actually telling you what dependency it needs. There is still one problem, and it seems to be more with SWIG than anything else. the java-swig bindings end up in the default package instead of the Xapian package. Once that is fixed everything look slike it will be good to go.
