<h1>Release notes for Recoll 1.14.4</h1>
<p>Recoll 1.14.4 fixes a number of <a href="CHANGES.html">small
bugs</a></p>
<p><em>Installing over an older version</em>: version 1.13/14 indexes are
mostly compatible with 1.11, but some new, relatively minor,
features (ie: duplicates collapsing) depend on a full index
rebuild. The 1.14 date search feature does <i>not</i> need an
index rebuild, the data was already in the index.
<br />If installing over 1.10 or older, you need a full
rebuild. The best way to do this is to just delete the old
<span class="filename">.recoll/xapiandb</span> directory,
especially if the index was created by an older version.
(ie: <tt>rm -rf ~/.recoll/xapiandb/</tt>). On very
old indexes, <tt>recollindex -z</tt> may sometimes end
with a <em>backend doesn't implement metadata</em> error,
which is wasteful because you then need to delete xapiandb and
run the indexing again.</p>
