- Add handling of exceptions from Database::get_metadata() and methods
of Enquire which might throw DatabaseModifiedError to address
situation reported in ticket#284.
- Skip thread.t testcase if Perl is new enough, but wasn't built with
thread support (reported by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
- Fix "fake VPATH" mode to work better.
- Add test coverage for more WritableDatabase methods.
- Wrap the new FLAG_DEFAULT constant which gives the QueryParser
default flag settings, allowing you to easily add flags to the
default ones.
- Makefile.PL now supports a "fake VPATH" mode, to better support for
building from SVN. If you run "perl /path/to/Makefile.PL" then
Makefile.PL will run Makefile.PL as nomal in /path/to, and then
create a stub Makefile in the current directory which forwards any
make invocations.
- Wrap Search::Xapian::get_major_version(), get_minor_version(),
get_revision(), sortable_serialise(), and sortable_unserialise().
- Reject xapian-core < 1.0 with an error rather than just a warning.
