[Xapian-discuss] Xapian 1.0.6 released

[Olly Betts]

I've just noticed that I made a mistake updating the library versioning
information in Xapian 1.0.6.  I updated the comment to note that it was
20:0:5 for 1.0.6, but left the actual value at 19:0:4.

This isn't really really bad as the two versions are upwardly
compatible, but it does mean that there could be problems with
applications using the new features in 1.0.6 (Unicode::toupper(),
Query::OP_VALUE_GE, and Query::OP_VALUE_LE) which have been linked
against vanilla 1.0.6 thinking they'll work fine with 1.0.5.  Both Omega
1.0.6 and xapian-bindings 1.0.6 fall into this category.

I recommend applying this patch, particularly if you are packaging
xapian-core:

I haven't released updated Debian or Ubuntu packages yet, and I don't
think the RPMs have on xapian.org have been updated either (neither are
accessible currently anyway because of the server issues).

I'm going to see if I can find a way to automatically check this has
been updated to prevent this happening again.

Cheers,
