[Xapian-discuss] Updated Perl bindings for Xapian 0.9.6

[Olly Betts]

It seems Alex is very busy, so for the time being if you want newer Perl
bindings than those on CPAN (which are currently 0.9.2.4) you can find
them here:

http://www.oligarchy.co.uk/xapian/trunk/Search-Xapian-0.9.6.0.tar.gz

The changes since 0.9.2.4 are mainly additional wrappers for new or previously
unwrapped methods, documentation improvements, and build system tweaks:

        [Changes contributed by Olly Betts]
        - Correct several occurrences of "Xapian::Search::" to
          "Search::Xapian::".
        - Wrap Enquire::set_docid_order (and document set_sort_forward
          as deprecated.)
        - Wrap new method Enquire::set_sort_by_relevance_then_value.
        - Document Enquire::set_sort_by_* (and document set_sorting as
          deprecated.)
        - Wrap the BM25Weight constructor which takes parameters
          (the default one is much less useful, since Xapian defaults
          to BM25Weight with the default parameters anyway!)
        - Wrap Enquire::set_sort_by_value_then_relevance()
        - Wrap the optional flags parameter to QueryParser::parse_query().
        - Disable the wrappers for the transaction API to WritableDatabase
          - it's not implemented by any database backend yet, so it's not
          useful to wrap it at present.
        - Fix PostingIterator != and == to handle both other PostingIterators
          and numbers like PositionIterator does.
        - Wrap constants FLAG_BOOLEAN_ANY_CASE and FLAG_WILDCARD.
        - Fix typos and other problems in the POD documentation.  Document all
          constants.
        - Update the list of unwrapped classes and methods.
        - Update the version in the README file.  Add code to Makefile.PL
          to check that the various references to the current version are
          all up-to-date.
        - Makefile.PL now refuses to proceed if it can't find Xapian.
        - Makefile.PL now checks that the Xapian version and Search::Xapian
          version match, and if not issues a non-fatal warning (for now).
        - Makefile.PL now allows building against an uninstalled xapian-core
          tree (which is useful when doing development work on Search::Xapian
          itself).
        - Add feature test for Document::termlist_begin().

        - Add MANIFEST.SKIP to allow "make manifest".

Cheers,
