Log Message:
Update to 1.0.10:

Xapian-core 1.0.10 (2008-12-23):

API:

* Composing an OP_NEAR query with two non-term subqueries now throws
  UnimplementedError instead of AssertionError (in a --enable-assertions build)
  or leading to unexpected results (otherwise).  This partly addresses bug#201.

* Using a MultiValueSorter with no values set no longer causes a hang or
  segmentation fault (but it is still rather pointless!)

matcher:

* If we're using values for sorting and for another purpose, cache the
  Document::Internal object created to get the value for sorting, like we do
  between other uses.

flint backend:

* If the disk became full while flushing database changes to disk, the
  WritableDatabase object would throw a DatabaseError exception but be left in
  an inconsistent state such that further use could lead to the database on
  disk ending up in a "corrupt" state (theoretically fixable, but no tool
  to fix such a database exists).  Now we try to ensure that the object is
  left in a consistent state, but if doing so throws a further exception, we
  put the WritableDatabase object in a "closed" state such that further
  attempts to use it throw an exception.

* Create the lockfile "flintlock" with permissions 0666 so that the umask is
  honoured just like we do for the other files (previously we used 0600).
  Previously it wasn't possible to lock a database for update if it was
  owned by another user, even if you otherwise had sufficient permissions via
  "group" or "other".

* Fix garbled exception message when a base file can't be reread.

quartz backend:

* Fix garbled exception message when a base file can't be reread.

remote backend:

* xapian-tcpsrv and xapian-progsrv now accept -w as a short form of --writable,
  as was always intended.

build system:

* This release now uses newer versions of the autotools (autoconf 2.62 ->
  2.63; automake 1.10.1 -> 1.10.2).

documentation:

* INSTALL: Add new paragraphs about HP's aCC and IRIX (adapted from footnotes
  in PLATFORMS).

* PLATFORMS: HP testdrive has been shut down, so all mark all those machines as
  "no longer available".  Update atreus' build report to 1.0.10.

* docs/queryparser.html: Add link to valueranges.html.

examples:

* delve: Add missing "and" to --help output.  Report termfreq and collection
  freq for each term we're asked about.

portability:

* Fix to build with GCC 4.4 snapshot.

Xapian-core 1.0.9 (2008-10-31):

API:

* Database::get_spelling_suggestion() is now faster (15% speed up for parsing
  queries with FLAG_SPELLING_CORRECTION set in a test on real world data).

* Fix OP_ELITE_SET segmentation fault due to excess floating point precision
  on x86 Linux (and possibly other platforms).

* Database::allterms_begin() over multiple databases now gives a TermIterator
  with operations O(log(n)) rather than potentially O(n) in the number of
  databases.

* Add new Database methods metadata_keys_begin() and metadata_keys_end() to
  allow the complete list of metadata in a database to be retrieved (this
  API addition is needed so that copydatabase can copy database metadata).

testsuite:

* Remove the cached test databases before running the testsuite.

* apitest: Fix cursordelbug1 to work on Microsoft Windows (bug#301).

* apitest,queryparsertest: Skip tests which fail because the timer granularity
  is too coarse to measure how long the test took.  In practice, this is only
  an issue on Microsoft Windows (bug#300 and bug#308).

matcher:

* Adjust percent cutoff calculations in the matcher in a way which corresponds
  to the change to percentage calculations made in 1.0.7 to allow for excess
  precision.

* Query::MatchAll no longer gives match results ranked by increasing document
  length.

flint backend:

* xapian-compact: Fix crash while compacting spelling table for a single
  database when built with MSVC, and probably other platforms, though Linux
  got lucky and happened to work (bug#305).

build system:

* configure: Disable -Wconversion for now - it's not useful for older GCC and
  is buggy in GCC 4.3.

* configure: Set -Wstrict-overflow to 1 instead of 5, to avoid unreasonable
  warnings under GCC 4.3.

documentation:

* Minor improvements to API documentation, including documenting the
  XAPIAN_FLUSH_THRESHOLD environmental variable in WriteableDatabase::flush()
  (bug#306).

* valueranges.html: Fix typos in example code, and drop superfluous empty
  destructor from ValueRangeProcessor subclass.

* HACKING: Several improvements.

examples:

* copydatabase: Also copy user metadata.

Xapian-core 1.0.8 (2008-09-04):

API:

* Fix output of RSet::get_description

testsuite:

* Report subtotals per backend, rather than per testgroup per backend to make
  the output easier to read.

flint backend:

* Fix WritableDatabase::add_document() and replace_document() not to be O(n*n)
  in the number of values in the new document.

* Fix handling of a table created lazily after the database has had commits,
  and which is then cursored while still in sequential mode.

* Fix failure to remove all the Btree entries in some cases when all the
  postings for a term are removed.  (bug#287)

* xapian-inspect: Show the help message on start-up.  Correct the documented
  alias for next from ' ' to ''.  Avoid reading outside of input string when it
  is empty.  (bug#286)

quartz backend:

* Backport fix from flint for WritableDatabase::add_document() and
  replace_document() not to be O(n*n) in the number of values in the new
  document.

build system:

* configure: Report bug report URL in --help output.

* xapian-config: Report bug report URL in --help output.

* configure: Fix deprecation error for --enable-debug=full to say to instead
  use '--enable-assertions --enable-log' not '--enable-debug --enable-log'.

documentation:

* valueranges.html: Expand on some sections.

examples:

* quest: Fix to catch QueryParserError instead of const char * which
  QueryParser threw in Xapian < 1.0.0.

* copydatabase: Use C++ forms of C headers.  Only treat '\' as a directory
  separator on platforms where it is.  Update counter every 13 counting up to
  the end so that the digits all "rotate" and the counter ends up on the exact
  total.

portability:

* Eliminate literal top-bit-set characters in testsuite source code.
