Xapian discuss - Apr 2010 - Xapian 1.1.5 (release candidate for 1.2.0) released

I've released Xapian 1.1.5.

We're getting really close to releasing a stable 1.2.0, and this is a
possible
release candidate.  So please try it out and report any issues you find. 
We're
hopefully looking at a 1.2.0 release later this month.

However, this is still nominally a development release with the usual
provisos about ABI and database formats potentially being subject to change
(though database format changes are unlikely now).

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

  http://svn.xapian.org/*checkout*/tags/1.1.5/xapian-bindings/NEWS

  http://svn.xapian.org/*checkout*/tags/1.1.5/search-xapian/Changes

Note in particular that 1.1.5 includes all relevant changes which were in
1.0.19.

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, at least since I switched to a new key starting
from 1.1.1 and 1.0.14).

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

Cheers,
    Olly

(sorry couldn't actually reply to the message, I deleted it too fast)

I've got a configure error with 1.1.5 on FreeBSD 7.3-STABLE:

...
checking for uuid/uuid.h... no
configure: error: uuid/uuid.h not found - required for brass, chert and flint
(you may need to install the uuid-dev, libuuid-devel or e2fsprogs-devel package)


uuid.h is in /usr/include on FreeBSD (but it's in uuid/uuid.h on macosx
strangely).

Also FreeBSD does not have uuid_generate(), it apparently has an equivalent
function named uuid_create().
