[Xapian-discuss] Xapian 0.8.2 released

[Olly Betts]

I've uploaded Xapian 0.8.2:

A few highlights:

This release provides a several-fold improvement in indexing speed,
slightly more compact databases, and several handy new API methods.

Omega's omindex now automatically detects deleted documents when
updating an index.  Scripts are now included to allow converting a
database from ht://dig format to Xapian format.

The SWIG bindings have been updated to include the new API methods and a
few older ones which were missing.  The PHP4 bindings now build in a
more straightforward way.  And we have "smoke tests" for the Python
and PHP4 bindings.

Full details of the changes can be found using the links next to each
component on the download page.

The debian packages haven't been updated yet (Richard does those).

Enjoy!

Cheers,
    Olly

P.S. Richard: I've submitted an update to freshmeat, and added that to
the list of release tasks (I noticed you'd submitted the last few, so
thought I should warn you to avoid duplicating effort).
