+
+ <p>The current version is 1.17.3. <a href="release-1.17.html">
+ Release notes</a>.</p>
+
+ <p>The download page for Recoll 1.16 is
+ <a href="download-1.16.html">still available</a>.</p>
+
+ <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>
+

+ <h3>Current release distribution: 1.17.3:</h3>
+ <!-- Attention: source packages must remain here, not in a
+ subdirectory, because of all the places they're referred from
+ (package watches) -->
+ <p><a href="recoll-1.17.3.tar.gz">recoll-1.17.3.tar.gz</a>.
+ </p>
+
+<!--
+ <h3>Snapshot</h3>
+ <p>I sometimes release a source tarfile when I consider that the
+ current development version is stable enough. The current
+ snapshot contains commits up to 2240 (see
+ <a href="https://bitbucket.org/medoc/recoll/changesets">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 4 or AMD Athlon 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>
+
+ <h3>Updated 1.17 translations that became available after the
+ release:</h3>
