[Xapian-discuss] Xapian 1.2.20 released

[Olly Betts]

Xapian 1.2.20 can now be downloaded from:

http://xapian.org/download

Since 1.2.16, release tarballs are compressed with xz instead of gzip,
as it provides much better compression, without being too slow to
decompress.  (For now at least, Search::Xapian is still gzipped.)

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 thanks to the following people for helping to make this release
a reality: Sébastien Debrard, James Aylett, Austin Clements, Vlad
Shablinsky, Felix Ostmann, Will Crawford.

If I've missed anyone out, you can claim an extra big thankyou.

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

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:

473e1f7734eaea6b30b0e1d3260062f3c04e856d  Search-Xapian-1.2.20.0.tar.gz
8460c0f56edf06091026076219caf114bf05f327  xapian-bindings-1.2.20.tar.xz
b5bbd28f7307e08d1b94cf0a45c56973ee798b2a  xapian-core-1.2.20.tar.xz
d1df5559316b84a437d1a55305632cc3fdf00073  xapian-omega-1.2.20.tar.xz

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