Xapian discuss - Apr 2009 - Xapian 1.1.0 development snapshot released

I've uploaded Xapian 1.1.0.  Please note that 1.1.x releases are
development releases - if you want ABI stability and minimal risk of
accidental breakage, please stick with 1.0.x for the time being.

The 1.1.x development series will lead to a stable 1.2.x release series.
It's hard to guess at a timescale right now, but it will be months
rather than weeks or years.

If you make binary packages of this release, please make sure that
they are very clearly labelled as not being a stable version, and if
possible ensure that they can be installed in parallel with the stable
version (the default paths and program suffix are set to help make this
easier).  I would probably recommend not rushing to package this right
away.  I'm intending to wait for things to settle down a bit before
building Debian or Ubuntu packages.

I've not yet put together release notes or a download page yet, but
you can read the full lists of user-visible changes here:

  http://svn.xapian.org/*checkout*/tags/1.1.0/xapian-core/NEWS

  http://svn.xapian.org/*checkout*/tags/1.1.0/xapian-applications/omega/NEWS

  http://svn.xapian.org/*checkout*/tags/1.1.0/xapian-bindings/NEWS

  http://svn.xapian.org/*checkout*/tags/1.1.0/search-xapian/Changes

And the source tarballs are available from here:

Here are the SHA1 checksums of the released files:

1d98fa332b75c3164fae79a34250205119f4768c  Search-Xapian-1.1.0.0.tar.gz

b6bbf63e82ac95261439dbe012ddcd10b3c2746a  xapian-omega-1.1.0.tar.gz

This announcement is GPG-signed, so if you can establish a trust chain
to my key, and you verify the checksums, you can be confident that the
tarballs you downloaded are the same as those I uploaded (even if you
get them from a mirror).  If you can't establish a trust chain, you can
still verify the checksums (and also see that the same key is being used
to sign each release).

As always, if you encounter problems, please report them here, or to
the bugtracker: http://xapian.org/bugs

Cheers,
    Olly

Hi all,

Just to let you know that I'll also be holding off releasing Win32 build 
files etc. for a while - however, if you really need them, the files 
currently in Xapian's SVN trunk should work with the 1.1.0 release.

Cheers

Charlie
