+
+      <p>The download page for Recoll 1.16 is

+      <p>Recoll <a href="usermanual/rcl.install.html">
+	  Installation / building manual</a>.</p> 
+
+      <p>The indexing filters used for some document types may need
+        external packages not installed on your system by default, and
+        not installed automatically with Recoll: <a
+	href="features.html#doctypes"> take a look at the list</a> and
+	decide what you need to
+	install. Also <a href="filters/filters.html">new or updated
+	filters</a> sometimes become available after a release. As a
+	rule, all filters are compatible with all Recoll
+	versions. Any compatibility problem will be explicitely
+	mentionned.</p>
+
+      <p>The Recoll term explorer tool in phonetic mode (marginally
+	useful and optional) uses the <b>aspell</b> package, version
+	0.60 (utf-8 support) or newer.</p>
+
+      <p>If you find problems with this page, the package or its
+	installation, <em>please</em> <a href="mailto:jfd@recoll.org">
+	  report them</a>.</p>
+
+      <h4>What do the release numbers mean?</h4>
+
+      <p>The Recoll releases are numbered X.Y.Z. The X
+	would only change for really major modifications like a big
+	change in the index format, and possibly won't ever reach
+	2.</p> 
+
+      <p>Y is for functional modifications. These may bring bugs, so
+        if you don't need the new features, you may want to wait a little,
+        and especially skip the first release (X.Y.0), at least for a few
+        weeks.</p> 
+
+      <p>Z changes for <a href="BUGS.html">bug fixes</a> only, 
+	and moving from X.Y.Z to X.Y.Z+u should in general involve
+	little risk of regression. But, <em>any</em> change can bring
+	problems, if you are not affected by the corrected bugs (check
+	the <a href="CHANGES.html">changes file</a>), there is
+	probably no necessity to upgrade anyway.</p>

+      <!-- Attention: source packages must remain here, not in a
+        subdirectory, because of all the places they're referred from

+      <p>I sometimes release a source tarfile when I consider that the

+
+      <h3>Prerequisites for building from source:</h3>
+        <ul>
+	 <li>C++ compiler. Its absence sometimes manifests itself by
+	 strange messages about iconv_open (fixed after 1.13.04).</li>
+
+         <li><p>Xapian core development libraries. Most Linux distributions
+           carry them in their package repository. Or you will find source and
+	   binary packages on the 
+           <a href="http://www.xapian.org/download.php">
+           Xapian download page</a>. <br /> 
+           Recoll should still work with Xapian 1.0, but it is highly
+           recommended to use a Xapian 1.2 version.</p> 
+
+           <p><em>Note on building Xapian for older CPUs:</em> The
+	     build configurations for Xapian releases 1.0.21 and
+	     1.2.1 or newer enable the use of SSE2 floating point
+	     instructions. These instructions are not available in CPUs
+	     older than Intel Pentium&nbsp;4 or AMD Athlon&nbsp;64. When
+	     building for such a CPU, you need to add the --disable-sse
+	     flag to the Xapian library configure command. If this is
+	     not done, the problem signals itself by "Illegal
+	     instruction" crashes (SIGILL) in recollindex and recoll.
+	   </p>
+
+         </li>
+
+        <li>X11 development files.</li>
+
+        <li>zlib development files.</p>
+
+        <li><p>Qt development files: Qt 4.4 or newer. The Recoll GUI
+            will not build with Qt releases older than 4.4.</p></li>
+
+        <li>Python development package: you can avoid needing this by
+          configuring with --disable-python-module.</li>
+
+      </ul>
+
+      <h3>Source repository:</h3>
+      <p>The <span class="application">Recoll</span> source repository is
+        hosted on 
+      <a href="http://bitbucket.org/medoc/recoll/overview">bitbucket.org</a>. 
+        The trunk is usually a bit on the bleeding edge, but there is
+        always a maintenance branch for the current production version.</p>

+
+      <h2><a name="packages">Packages</a></h2>
+
+      <p>Packages or ports for Recoll are available in the standard
+        repositories for many distributions.</p>
+      <p>However they are often a bit older or built with older Xapian 
+        releases. Here follow a number of updated packages and
+        instructions for a number of distributions.</p>
+      <p>All binary packages on this page need a Qt 4 (4.4 at least) runtime
+	environment. To make things easier, on systems where Xapian is
+	not available from the standard package repositories, the
+	Recoll package will have a static link to Xapian so that you
+	do not need to build/install it separately.</p>
+
+      <h3><a name="debian">Debian</a></h3>
+
+      <p>The Debian Recoll packages are usually fairly up to date (at
+        least in testing), just use the appropriate Debian repository.</p>
+
+      <h3><a name="ubuntu">Ubuntu</a></h3>
+
+        <p>There are Personal Package Archives on launchpad.net for 
+          <a  href="https://launchpad.net/~recoll-backports/+archive/recoll-1.15-on">
+            Recoll, kio-recoll and recoll-lens</a>. These were built from the
+          latest versions, for a set of Ubuntu series. starting at
+          Lucid. The installation is very simple:
+          <pre><tt>
+          sudo add-apt-repository ppa:recoll-backports/recoll-1.15-on
+          sudo apt-get update
+          sudo apt-get install recoll
+          </tt></pre>
+
+
+        <h3><a name="mint">Linux Mint</a></h3>
+        <p>The Ubuntu PPA works perfectly for Mint 13 (and probably
+          other releases too). Just follow the instructions for Ubuntu.</p>
+        
+      <h3>RPMS</h3> 
+
+       <p>Some Fedora and Mandriva packages unfortunately think that they
+	depend on exiftool (which is needed by the little used jpeg
+	info filter), due to excessive rpmbuild	cleverness.
+	<br>You'll need to install the Xapian, Qt, and zlib development
+	  packages if you want use the source rpms.</i></p>
+	  
+      <h3>Fedora</h3>
+      <p>Recoll is present in the standard Fedora package
+	repositories starting from F-12. The new versions are tracked quite
+	closely, so I don't build the rpms any more (email me if you need
+	one).</p> 
+
+      <h3>OpenSUSE</h3>
+      <blockquote>
+        <p>Recoll is in the KDE:Extra repository
+
+<!--
+I now use the OpenSUSE build service to create Recoll OpenSUSE packages. 
+-->
+        You just need to add the repository to your
+        software sources (Yast2->software->Software repositories).<br>
+        <a href="http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Extra/">
+          Repository list (supported Suse versions)</a>. After adding the
+          appropriate repository to your software sources, you will be
+          able to install recoll and kio_recoll from the software
+          management interface. The Xapian dependancy will also be
+          satisfied from the build service repository. Some of the older
+          repositories do not build antiword, just tell the software manager
+          to "break" recoll by installing anyway, and get antiword
+          somewhere else.</p>
+      </blockquote>
+
+      <h3>Mandriva</h3>
+      <blockquote>
+
+        <p>Mandriva linux 2011 using Qt 4 and the Xapian version
+             from the Mandriva repository.: 
+	  <a href="mandriva2011/recoll-1.17.2-1-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm">
+	    recoll-1.17.2-1-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm</a>, 
+          <a href="recoll-debug-1.17.2-1-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm">
+            recoll-debug-1.17.2-1-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm</a>. <br>
+	  Source: 
+	<a href="mandriva2011/recoll-1.17.2-1.src.rpm">
+	  recoll-1.17.2-1.src.rpm</a>
+        </p>
+      </blockquote>
+
+      <h2><a name="ports">Ports</a></h2> 
+
+      <h3>Mac port</h3>
+
+      <p>It seems that Recoll will sometimes find data that Spotlight
+        misses (especially inside pdfs apparently, which is probably
+        more to the credit of poppler than recoll itself).</p>
+      <p>Recoll is in MacPorts and really easy to install:</p>
+      <ol>
+        <li><a href="https://trac.macports.org/wiki/InstallingMacPorts">
+            Install MacPorts</a>.</li>
+        <li>Type "sudo port install recoll"</li>
+      </ol>
+
+      <p>Recoll is then available from the command line and as an icon in
+        the usual MacPorts applications place.</p>
+
+      <h2>Building on Solaris</h2>
+      <p>I did not test building the GUI on Solaris for this version. You
+          will need at least Qt 4.4. The old hints
+          in <a href="download-1.14.html">the previous page</a> may
+          still be valid.</p>
+        <p>Someone did test the indexer and Python module build, they
+          do work, with a few minor glitches. Be sure to use
+          GNU <b>make</b> and <b>install</b>.</p>
+
+      <h2><a name="translations">Translations</a></h2>
+
+      <p>Most of the translations for 1.17 are incomplete
+	The source translation files are included in the source
+	release. If your language has some english messages left and
+	you want to take a shot at fixing the problem, you can send
+	the results to <a href="mailto:jfd@recoll.org">me</a> and earn
+	my gratefulness (and your less multilingual
+	compatriot's)...</p>
+
+      <p>You can use the <em>.ts</em> file to alter the translations if you
+	wish (use Qt's <em>linguist</em> tool to edit the source file,
+	then <em>lrelease</em> to produce the <em>.qm</em> file.).
+	The <literal>.qm</literal> file should be copied to 
+	<span class="filename">/usr/[local/]share/recoll/translations</span>
+      </p>
+
+      <p><a href="translations/recoll_xx.ts">recoll_xx.ts</a> is a blank
+	Recoll 1.17 message file, handy to work on a new translation.</p>
