Xapian 2.0.0 release candidate 2

[Olly Betts]

The second release candidate of Xapian 2.0.0 can now be downloaded from:

https://oligarchy.co.uk/xapian/1.5.1/

It's also available from a signed tag in git: v1.5.1

We're making this available to encourage wider testing before a final
release.  It is versioned as 1.5.x in an attempt to reduce potential for
misunderstandings.  If all goes well the final release will be the same
as this but with the version number updated.

Incompatible changes are still possible, so please do not package this
release candidate unless the packaging system has way to have a parallel
version clearly marked as "experimental" or similar which users will
have to opt-in to get.  I'm intending to upload packages of this release
candidate to Debian experimental to make wider testing easier.

The NEWS files list changes since the last release candidate - as well
as some changes to documentation and commments there are a small number
of functional changes:

- configure: Search for xapian-config not xapian-config-1.5 by default.

- Remove DB_BACKEND_CHERT - it's not useful with the chert backend
  removed.

- Rename new API class DiceCoeffWeight to DiceWeight.

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

You can find detached GPG signatures for each of the release tarballs
in a corresponding file with ".asc" appended.
