API:
* PostingSource: Public member variables are now wrapped by methods (mostly
getters and/or setters, depending on whether they should be readable,
writable or both). In 1.3.5, the public members variables have been
deprecated - we've added the replacement methods in 1.2.23 as well to make
it easier for people to migrate over.
chert backend:
* xapian-check now performs additional consistency checks for chert. Reported
by Jean-Francois Dockes and Bob Cargill via xapian-discuss.
documentation:
* Update links to Xapian website and trac to use https, which is now supported,
thanks to James Aylett.
portability:
* On older Linux kernels, rename() of a file within a directory on NFS can
sometimes erroneously fail with EXDEV. This should only happen if you
try to rename a file across filing systems, so workaround this issue by
retrying up to 5 times on EXDEV (which should be plenty to avoid this
bug, and we don't want to risk looping forever). Fixes#698, reported by
Mark Dufour.
