[Xapian-discuss] Xapian 1.2.16 released

[Olly Betts]

It's been a while since the last release, so I'm especially pleased to
be able to announce the release of Xapian 1.2.16 and Search::Xapian
1.2.16.0.  You can download them from:

http://xapian.org/download

We've switched to compressing tarballs with xz instead of gzip, as it
provides much better compression, without being too slow to decompress.
(For this release at least, Search::Xapian is still gzipped though.)

We decided not to provide multiple formats for the downloads.  The size
reduction provided by xz is greater than the size of the xz source code
download, so installing it doesn't seem an onerous requirement.

The wiki has a summary of the most notable changes:

A big thankyou to the following people for helping to make this release
happen: Richard Boulton, David Bremner, Emmanuel Garette, Joey Hess,
Dagobert Michelsen, Michel Pelletier, Alexandre Rebert, Hristo Venev.
I'm sure I will have managed to miss at someone out, so an extra big
thanks to you.

As always, if you encounter problems, please report them here, or to
the bug-tracker: http://xapian.org/bugs
