Xapian 1.2.21 can now be downloaded from: http://xapian.org/download Since 1.2.16, release tarballs are compressed with xz instead of gzip, as it provides much better compression, without being too slow to decompress. (For now at least, Search::Xapian is still gzipped.) We decided not to provide multiple formats for the downloads. The size reduction provided by xz is greater than the size of the xz source code download, so installing it doesn't seem an onerous requirement. The wiki has a summary of the most notable changes: http://trac.xapian.org/wiki/ReleaseOverview/1.2.21 A big thanks to the following people for helping to make this release a reality: bramvdh, Charles Atkinson, Dylan Griffith, Felix Ostmann, Germ?n M. Bravo, James Aylett, Jani Nikula, Jean-Francois Dockes, kbwt, Matthias Klose, nkvoll, Ryan Schmidt, terencz, and the CPAN Testers. If I've missed anyone out, you can claim an extra big thankyou. As always, if you encounter problems, please report them here, or to the bug-tracker: http://xapian.org/bugs Since 1.2.17, I'm providing detached GPG signatures for each of the release tarballs (for each tarball, the signature is in a corresponding file with ".asc" appended). Here are the SHA1 checksums of the released files: 57bfb4a5109468ca417d5bb17091eb73bbf40cbe Search-Xapian-1.2.21.0.tar.gz 9d05a89fa484845a7d76b3f5d040aaa2e709a53a xapian-bindings-1.2.21.tar.xz 03f67df86f600f0b64ea62fd9b956f72b5dce933 xapian-core-1.2.21.tar.xz b0225576f0c759a2fa7e95344f51faf0646813b8 xapian-omega-1.2.21.tar.xz And SHA256 checksums (more secure, but sha256sum is less widely installed): 34cb6279c3394b763e16ff9ae6b48942bdddb494312548366156cfdb4d8c70b5 Search-Xapian-1.2.21.0.tar.gz 28a39247ac875be2dc1386c273167aab5c9949227c1070b65ca8de603c06d546 xapian-bindings-1.2.21.tar.xz 63f48758fbd13fa8456dd4cf9bf3ec35a096e4290f14a51ac7df23f78c162d3f xapian-core-1.2.21.tar.xz 862d3a5d7052fc13c16eed51c42d774c4ab1c56967c477d994995b753dc9527e xapian-omega-1.2.21.tar.xz Cheers, Olly -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
