[Xapian-discuss] Xapian 1.3.2 development snapshot released

[Olly Betts]

I'm happy to be able to announce that Xapian 1.3.2 is now available.

Please note that 1.3.x releases are development releases - they are made
to encourage earlier and wider use and testing of new and changed code.

Our record with 1.1.x was very good - all the bugs I am aware of were
either in new features, or were also present in the corresponding 1.0.x
release.  But if you main concern is minimising risk of accidental
breakage, sticking with 1.2.x would be prudent, at least for deployment.

The 1.3.x development series will lead to a stable 1.4.x release series,
but we don't yet have a date set for when that will happen.

If you make packages of this release, please make sure that they are
very clearly labelled as not being a stable version, and ensure that
they can be installed in parallel with the stable version (the default
paths and program suffix are set to help make this easier).  If they are
binary packages you should also be aware that 1.3.x comes with no
guarantee of ABI stability (code built against 1.3.1 will need
rebuilding for 1.3.2).

There's been 18 months of development work since 1.3.1, so the lists of
changes are substantial and I won't try to summarise them here.  You can
read the full lists of user-visible changes here:

The source tarballs are available from here:

Since 1.2.17, I'm providing detached GPG signatures for each of the
release tarballs (for each tarball, the signature is in a corresponding
file with ".asc" appended).

Here are the SHA1 checksums of the released files:

And SHA256 checksums (more secure, but sha256sum is less widely
installed):
