Xapian discuss - Apr 2010 - New stable release series - Xapian 1.2.0 released

I've uploaded Xapian 1.2.0 (including Search::Xapian 1.2.0.0).  This is the
first release in a new stable release series!

1.0.x will continue to be updated with bug-fixes for a while, but we will be
moving focus away from it and once any issues with 1.2.x have been sorted out,
we'll only fix critical bugs in 1.0.x.

Please don't confuse 1.2.0 with 1.0.20 announced a few days ago.  Sorry for
managing to make two releases with similar looking version numbers in quick
succession!

As usual you can download from:

http://xapian.org/download

I'm still working on collating the release overview (I'm intending to
summarise
changes since 1.0.20).  Once that is done, you will be able to read it here:

http://trac.xapian.org/wiki/ReleaseOverview/1.2.0

The full lists of user-visible changes are linked to from there, and from the
"[news]" links on the download page.

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

Here are the SHA1 checksums of the released files:

I've just found an issue:

The header files are installed into PREFIX/include/xapian rather than
PREFIX/include (xapian 1.1.5 put them PREFIX/include/xapian-1.1 and we failed
to undo this change correctly).  If you use XO_LIB_XAPIAN or xapian-config,
then all is well.  If you don't, then the headers won't be found.

This will be fixed in 1.2.1 - for now just move the headers up a level after
installation. 

Cheers,
    Olly

Hi all,

I've uploaded Visual C++ build files and prebuilt Windows binaries for 
1.2.0 to:

http://www.flax.co.uk/xapian_binaries

(please note this link has changed slightly - if you're linking to these 
binaries please update accordingly, the old link will work for a while).

There are some caveats with this release, there are full details in 
readme.txt, the summary is:

- xapian fails a single test of the replication system with Flint 
databases, so we don't recommend you use Flint & replication currently
- no java-swig bindings as these don't currently build on 1.2.0 or SVN trunk
- ruby bindings fail one test, we've included them anyway but be aware
- omega needs a simple patch before building

Cheers

Charlie
