1.10.0

- Added a GUI dialog to configure the indexing parameters.

- Added better support for indexing CJK text (Chinese, Japanese, Korean). 

  Please note that:

  - You will need a full reindex to take good advantage of this. (You

    *don't* need to reindex if you don't need to search CJK, even if there

    is some in your index).

  - When entering CJK search terms, words (single or multiple characters)

    should be separated with white space.

  - The specific CJK processing can be turned off by setting the nocjk

    variable to true in the configuration file (this may make sense if you

    have a mixed cjk/other document base and don't want to index the cjk

    part, as it will save some disk space and a minuscule amount of cpu).

- Changed the way Recoll handles searches including composite words (like

  an email address). The new approach looks saner, but could have

  side-effects, please report any problems in this area.

- The query language got a new "dir:" specifier to filter results on location.

- New rclimg perl filter for better indexing of picture tags, thanks to

  Cedric Scott. This depends on Exiftool.

- New rcltex filter.

- Changed and improved how the preview window local search finds the

  query terms, this does not involve weird characters any more. The

  display is cleaner and cut and paste works better.

- Fixed the fact that a newline-separated word list in simple search would

  wrongly trigger a phrase search.

- Fixed the way we input text to the preview textedit (the old way would

  sometimes confuse the window into displaying tags instead of acting on

  them).

- Fixed transcoding to utf-8 for text/plain email attachments

- Improved mbox From_ line detection

- Added indexedmimetypes variables to allow restricting the list of indexed

  mime types.

- KDE kicker applet: start a recoll search from the panel and get a

  Recoll window. This is a clone from the find_applet, originally meant to

  start a Tracker search. Not so useful presently because it will start a

  new Recoll instance for every search. Not part of the main source (the

  configure script is a whopping 1MB...), linked from the download page.

- Added recoll command line options to define a query and execute it

  immediately when the program starts. This is used in practice from the

  applet and could be used from other programs. There is a also a new

  option to not start the GUI and print the results to stdout.

- New query configuration parameter to set the maximum text size beyond

  which text won't be hilighted before preview (takes too much time). This

  was a fixed value in 1.8.
