- Update to 1.4.9:
* API:
+ Document::add_posting(): Fix bugs with the change in 1.4.8 to more
efficiently handle insertion of a batch of extra positions in ascending
order. These could lead to missing positions and corrupted encoded
positional data.
* remote backend:
+ Avoid hang if remote connection shutdown fails by not waiting for the
connection to close in this situation. Seems to fix occasional hangs seen on
macOS. Patch from Germán M. Bravo.
- Update to 1.4.8:
* API:
+ QueryParser,TermGenerator: Add new stemming mode STEM_SOME_FULL_POS.
This stores positional information for both stemmed and unstemmed terms,
allowing NEAR and ADJ to work with stemmed terms. The extra positional
information is likely to take up a significant amount of extra disk space so
the default STEM_SOME is likely to be a better choice for most users.
+ Database::check(): Fetch and decompress the document data to catch problems
with the splitting of large data into multiple entries, corruption of the
compressed data, etc. Also check that empty document data isn't explicitly
stored for glass.
+ Fix an incorrect type being used for term positions in the TermGenerator API.
These were Xapian::termcount but should be Xapian::termpos. Both are
typedefs for the same 32-bit unsigned integer type by default (almost always
"unsigned int") so this change is entirely compatible, except that if you
were configuring 1.4.7 or earlier with --enable-64bit-termcount you need to
also use the new --enable-64bit-termpos configure option with 1.4.8 and up or
rebuild your applications. This change was necessary to make
--enable-64bit-termpos actually useful.
+ Add Document::remove_postings() method which removes all postings in a
