+ <h1>Release notes for Recoll 1.15.0</h1>
+
+ <h2>Caveats</h2>
+
+ <p>The support for Qt 3 has been removed in this version which
+ uses only native Qt 4 interfaces. If your system has no
+ support for Qt 4.4 or newer, you need to stick
+ with <a href="download-1.14.html">Recoll 1.14</a>, which is
+ still supported.</p>
+
+ <p>The defaults for file name searches with multiple fragments
+ changed from OR to AND: see the changes list below for more
+ detail.</p>
+
+ <p><em>Installing over an older version</em>: version 1.15/14/13
+ indexes are mostly compatible with 1.11 indexes, 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. The new 1.15 table will not be able to display
+ filenames without a full reindex (it does display the urls),
+ except for some previous custom field configurations.</p>
+
+ <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>
+
+ <h2>Changes</h2>
+
+ <p>Recoll 1.15.0 has major new GUI features and fixes a number
+ of small bugs</p>
+
+ <ul>
+
+ <li>The GUI has a new display for the result list inside a
+ spreadsheet-like table, with configurable columns and sort by
+ any column. The table header right-click menu has the <i>reset
+ sort</i> function and column adding/removing.The "classical" look
+ is still there, you can dynamically switch between list and
+ table by clicking the table-like icon in the toolbar. </li>
+
+ <li>The old sort tool is gone. There are now vertical arrows in
+ the tool bar to directly sort by date ascending or descending,
+ which was its only significant use.</li>
+
+ <li>We added duplication indicators to the result list when results
+ are collapsed because they have bit-for-bit identical
+ contents. The indicater is the collapse count in parentheses,
+ displayed just after the relevancy percentage.</li>
+
+ <li>There is now a menu entry to clear search history.</li>
+
+ <li>File name search: it used to be that multiple fragments
+ where OR'ed together to perform the search. They are now AND'ed,
+ which makes more sense in many cases (remembering several
+ fragments of the file name but not the order), but means that a
+ search for <tt>*.doc *.odt</tt> will always
+ fail. Use <tt>ext:doc OR ext:odt</tt> instead.</li>
+
+ <li>Autophrase now works with the query language where it makes
+ sense.</li>
+
+ <li>Support for lyrics in midi karaoke files. Works
+ better with the
+ Python <a href="http://chardet.feedparser.org/">chardet</a>
+ character encoding identification module.</li>
+
+ <li>Support newer Purple/Pidgin logs using an html format.</li>
+
+ <li>Support thunderbird extreme brokiness in handling the mbox
+ format: naked "^From $" separators are now accepted
+ with <tt>mhmboxquirks = tbird</tt>.</li>
+
+ <li>A change of method for filtering on directory location makes
+ it much more efficient and faster.</li>
+
+ <li>The utf-8 file name is now a stored field by default.</li>
+
+ <li>We now catch all exceptions in Python filters to avoid
+ crash reports from the system on benign filter failures.</li>
+
+ <li>Indexing now creates a lock/pid file inside the
+ configuration directory.</li>
+
+ <li>Fixed parallel build issue on FreeBSD.</li>
+
+
+ </ul>
