documentation:
* Stop maintaining ChangeLog files. They make merging patches harder, and stop
'git cherry-pick' from working as it should. The git repo history should be
sufficient for complying with GPLv2 2(a).
* Clarify help text for omindex --mime-type option.
* docs/omegascript.rst:
+ Fix documentation of $last to say it's the MSet index *one beyond* the end
of the current page. Reported by Andrew Chilton.
+ Clarify that $split and $substr work in bytes. Previously we said
"characters" which could be taken as meaning they work with UTF-8
characters.
+ Update documentation for $filters - it was missing these CGI parameters
from the list of those serialised: COLLAPSE, DOCIDORDER, SORT, SORTREVERSE,
SORTAFTER
+ Explicitly note user can use $setmap to create their own maps.
* docs/overview.rst:
+ SVG extraction is built-in too.
+ Expand paragraph about command `false`. Note the versions where explicit
support was added, and that this will also work with any version on Unix,
where `false` is a command.
+ Document `cdb_dir`.
* docs/cgiparams.rst: Document behaviour if xDB is not set.
* Change "characters" to "bytes" in a few places to clarify that we don't mean
Unicode code points.
indexers:
* omindex:
+ Add '--title-size' option.
+ Handle .oft the same way as .msg - it's some sort of template email, and
has essentially the same format.
omega:
* Make $querydescription ensure the match has been run, so that it includes
filters.
* Avoid $allterms, $cgilist, $filterterms and $terms being O(n²) in the number
of items in the returned list.
* If xFILTERS is not set, don't force the first page as that's unhelpful if
someone fails to set it in their template.
* When environment variable SERVER_PROTOCOL is set to INCLUDED (as it is when
we're being included in a page), we already suppress the HTTP headers, but
now we suppress the blank line after the header too.
* Support option flag_cjk_ngram if built against xapian-core >= 1.2.22.
testsuite:
* Add test coverage for parsing of HTML entities.
build system:
* Fix error reporting if PCRE isn't installed. Fixes#693, reported by lhz7370.
portability:
* Avoid warning when building with glibc >= 2.21.
* Don't provide our own implementation of sleep() under __WIN32__ if there
already is one - mingw provides one, and in some situations it seems to clash
with ours. Reported to xapian-discuss by John Alveris.
* Stop trying to use O_STREAMING - the patch to implement it was never merged
into the Linux kernel, and I can't find any evidence that other platforms
implement it. The constant value O_STREAMING used now seems to be used for
the part of O_SYNC which isn't covered by O_DSYNC, which seems likely to hurt
performance if anything.
