Omega 1.2.19 (2014-10-21):
documentation:
* docs/overview.rst: Note that pdftotext is part of poppler as well as xpdf.
(Noted by Paul Wise)
Omega 1.2.18 (2014-06-22):
indexers:
* omindex:
+ Work around libmagic returning a MIME content-type of "Composite Document
File V2 Document[...]" or "application/CDFV2-corrupt" by returning a more
suitable filetype based on looking at the file's extension.
+ The starting URL wasn't previously URL encoded. In 1.3.2, this will be
fixed by URL encoding it as we do for the rest of the path, for the 1.2
branch we only URL encode it if it contains a character <= 31 or at least
one of '#', '%', ':' or '?'. This avoids a one-off reindex of every
document in the database in cases which work OK in practice.
+ When we skip a file because it exceeds the configured size limit, include
that size limit in the message.
omega:
* Add support for setting the query expansion scheme to use.
portability:
* Don't compile in unixperm.cc - it isn't currently used, and it fails to build
with mingw. (fixes #635, reported by Alexis Denis)
* Fix warning when built with GCC 4.7.2 using -Os.
* Removed unused inline function, fixing compiler warning.
Omega 1.2.17 (2014-01-29):
documentation:
* docs/overview.html: Add Abiword as an example use of --filter, based on patch
from Frank J Bruzzaniti (fixes#383).
portability:
* Fix "no previous declaration" warning on platforms which don't have
mkdtemp().
Omega 1.2.16 (2013-12-04):
indexers:
* omindex:
+ Fix off-by-one when finding documents to delete which would sometimes cause
omindex to fail to delete documents from the database when they weren't
refound during an index update.
+ Decode dates in xlsx files.
+ Ignore extensions 'adm', 'cur', and 'ico' by default.
+ Group-readable files which are owner-readable but not world-readable should
still get a "readable by owner" term added. Reported by Emmanuel Garette.
build system:
* Compress source tarballs with xz instead of gzip.
* configure: Sync compiler warning flag machinery against xapian-core. The
changes are special handling for clang, passing -fshow-column where
supported, and handling for new warning flags in GCC 4.6 and 4.7.
Omega 1.2.15 (2013-04-16):
omega:
* Don't pointlessly link utf8convert.o into the omega CGI.
Omega 1.2.14 (2013-03-14):
indexers:
* omindex:
+ Correct "max" -> "min" when reserving space for shared strings in .xlsx
files. This just means we now reserve a more appropriate amount of space
to start with.
+ Ignore .com files by default.
Omega 1.2.13 (2013-01-09):
indexers:
* omindex:
+ Extracting text using external filters now works for filenames containing a
newline character - previously the newline got lost during escaping for the
shell.
+ Fix segfault when -F option without a ':' is passed.
+ Skip a file if we get a read error while calculating the MD5 checksum (used
for duplicate detection) - previously we used a checksum of the file up to
that point.
+ Avoid rereading SVG and Atom files when we calculate their MD5 checksums.
+ Improvement --help output and man page, most notably:
- Say explicitly that --sample-size accepts the same formats as --max-size.
- Note default size limit on files to index is unlimited.
+ When generating a sample for a CSV file, limit the size we pre-allocate to
the CSV file size if that's smaller than the requested sample size, in case
the user sets that limit very high.
omega:
* Fix to decode %-encoded character at the end of the query string.
build system:
* INCLUDES is now deprecated in automake, so use AM_CPPFLAGS instead.
Omega 1.2.12 (2012-06-27):
No changes since 1.2.11 except to bump the version - this release was made to
fix an incorrect library version information update in xapian-core 1.2.11.
Omega 1.2.11 (2012-06-26):
indexers:
* Change HTML parser's handling of multiple
tags and of text outside of
to match the behaviour of modern web browsers. (ticket#599)
* omindex:
+ Add command line option to control the size of the document sample stored.
Patch from Mihai Bivol.
+ Rework .xlsx parsing to substitute the shared strings into the positions
they are used in, so that the sample actually matches what appears in the
spreadsheet, and to index calculated cell contents.
+ Improve handling of headers and footers in OpenDocument documents.
+ pdftotext outputs a formfeed between each page, which messes up our "empty
body" check, so trim any trailing formfeeds before this check.
build system:
* Don't explicitly link indirect shared library dependencies on FreeBSD,
OpenBSD, and Solaris.
Omega 1.2.10 (2012-05-09):
indexers:
* Add support for CDATA to HTML/XML parser.
* omindex:
+ Add --max-size option, based on patch from ndaley in ticket#587.
+ Add support for atom feed files, patch from Mihai Bivol in ticket#595.
+ If the document with the highest existing docid before the run was updated,
we were reporting it as "added", but now we correctly report it as
"updated". (Backported from 1.3.0).
+ Catch and report std::exception explicitly, so failing to allocate memory
is no longer reported as "Unknown exception". (Backported from 1.3.0).
* scriptindex:
portability:
* Fix to build with GCC 4.7 by adding cast to rlim_t to fix error about C++11
compatibility (reported by Gaurav Arora).
Omega 1.2.9 (2012-03-08):
documentation:
* docs/overview.html:
+ Document that libmagic is used to determine the MIME type if the extension
isn't known. Partly addresses ticket#569.
+ We now limit time as well as CPU and memory for external filters.
indexers:
* Our HTML parser now ignores sections bracketed by and
, like we already do for .
* omindex: Add more extensions to the default ignore list: bin dat db fon jar
lnk pyc pyd pyo sqlite sqlite3 sqlite-journal tmp ttf
Omega 1.2.8 (2011-12-13):
documentation:
* scriptindex.cc: Add link to http://xapian.org/docs/omega/scriptindex.html to
--help output (and so also to the man page which is generated from this).
* omegascript.html: Add note to discourage use of percentage scores.
indexers:
* omindex:
+ If we don't get any data from an external filter for 5 minutes, give up -
it has probably ended up blocked indefinitely.
+ Improve --help output (and man page which is generated from it). Closes
bug#572.
* scriptindex:
+ If no rules are found in the index script, report an error and give up -
this is inevitably the result of a mistake, and adding empty documents to
the database isn't helpful.
omega:
+ Add new $prettyurl{} command which undoes RFC3986 URL escaping which
doesn't affect semantics in practice. Partly addresses ticket#550.
+ Replace URL decoder with new implementation which handles various corner
cases better. Fixes bug#578.
+ If CGI parameter P has trailing spaces, we now remove them all rather than
leaving one.
templates:
* templates/query: HTML escape topterms.
* templates/godmode: HTML escape the contents of document values.
* templates/query: Don't show the percentage score in the default template.
testsuite:
* Add new urlenctest unit test of URL encoding and decoding.
portability:
* configure: Sync changes from xapian-core: Don't pass -Wshadow for GCC < 4.1;
don't pass -Wstrict-null-sentinel for GCC 4.0.x; only enable symbol
visibility on platforms where it is supported.
packaging:
* xapian-omega.spec: Package outlookmsg2html helper.
Omega 1.2.7 (2011-08-10):
documentation:
* docs/termprefixes.html: Document how to map a user prefix to multiple term
prefixes.
* docs/overview.html: Improve documentation of htdig_noindex.
omega:
* Improve $version output from "Xapian - xapian-omega 1.2.7" to "xapian-omega
1.2.7".
packaging:
* xapian-omega.spec: We're ABI compatible within a release series so make
dependency on xapian-core-libs >= rather than =.
Omega 1.2.6 (2011-06-12):
documentation:
* docs/omegascript.html: Correct the documentation of the colours used by
$highlight{}.
* docs/overview.html: Add using unoconv as more complex example of using
--filter (ticket#324).
templates:
* templates/query:
+ Make search query input type=search.
+ Autofocus the search query input (using HTML autofocus attribute with
Javascript fallback for older browsers). (ticket#544)
portability:
* Fix a compiler warning.
Omega 1.2.5 (2011-04-04):
documentation:
* Add index page which links to all the other documentation pages.
* INSTALL: Copy new Multi-Arch section from xapian-core/INSTALL. Replace VPATH
section with better equivalent from Xapian-core/INSTALL.
* docs/omegascript.html: Minor improvements.
indexers:
* The HTML parser no longer uses an exception to signify it has finished in
the normal case as exceptions are typically costly to handle. In tests,
this made omindex ~0.23% faster when indexing a lot of HTML files.
* omindex:
+ Add --ignore-exclusions option, which will index HTML files despite meta
robots tags, etc - omindex is often used in environments where such
exclusions aren't relevant.
+ Fix to compile with older versions of libmagic which don't have
MAGIC_MIME_TYPE (e.g. on Ubuntu hardy).
+ Tell xls2csv to separate fields with spaces rather than commas, and not to
quote them. Fixes indexing of numeric fields, and means we don't need to
use our CSV parser to get a sample.
+ Add whitespace between chunks of text extracted from Microsoft Office 2007
formats to prevent words in adjacent chunks from being run together.
+ Encode reserved characters in URLs - links to files with names containing
'#' and '?' now work.
+ Handle .xlr extension the same way as .xls (later Microsoft Works versions
apparently produce such files which are really the same format).
+ Index filename extension with new standard prefix E.
+ Just report the mimetype as unknown instead of saying "unknown Office 2007
MIME subtype".
+ Ignore *.css and *.js by default too.
+ Messages reporting skipping files are now more consistent and always report
the filename.
+ New --empty-docs option to allow documents we extract no body text from to
be indexed (existing behaviour), skipped, or reported and then indexed.
omega:
* Fix double Content-Type header in some error reporting situations (regression
introduced in 1.2.4).
* Update $url's URL encoding to follow RFC3986.
* Allow QueryParser flags to be set from OmegaScript (ticket#418). The
FLAG_SPELLING_CORRECTION flag can now be set using
$opt{flag_spelling_correction,1} - the old $opt{spelling,true} way to
enable this flag still works, but it now deprecated.
templates:
* templates/emptydocs,templates/godmode,templates/opensearch,templates/query,
templates/xml: Add missing escaping. Some of these instances may allow
cross-site scripting, so upgrading your templates is recommended, especially
if you have any sensitive cookies set on the domain Omega is running on.
* templates/xml:
+ Try $field{caption} (which is what omindex sets) before $field{title} when
getting a value for the hit tag's title attribute - this is consistent with
how the query template gets the title.
+ Add new 'type' attribute which gives $field{type}.
+ Add 'DBSize' attribute to element.
+ Fix double escaping of matching terms. This is only likely to affect cases
where a matching term contains '&'.
+ Remove support for undocumented HILITECLASS CGI variable. There's no
evidence I can find using Google code search or web search that this has
been used anywhere, and it's difficult to handle escaping it properly in
the face of all the ways it could reasonably be used.
portability:
* Fix to compile on Microsoft Windows (ticket#350).
Omega 1.2.4 (2010-12-19):
documentation:
* Minor documentation improvements.
indexers:
* Some iconv implementations (such as that on Mac OS X) don't handle many of
the commonly seen mis-punctuated charset names (e.g. UTF16, UTF_16). We now
check for this if iconv fails, fix up the charset name, and retry.
* The built-in character encoding converter now handles spaces in charset
names.
* Use O_NOATIME if available and either the file is owned by the current euid,
or the current euid is 0 (i.e. we're running as root). This avoids updating
the access time of files we index which saves time. Fixes ticket#222.
* Report get_description() for Xapian exceptions, which provides additional
information above get_msg().
* Add boolean terms with add_boolean_term() so they get wdf of 0 and don't
contribute to document length.
* omindex:
+ Escape wildcard patterns being passed to unzip - in the unlikely event that
one of these matched files in or under the current directory, we might fail
to extract all the files we wanted to.
+ Add explicit support for indexing CSV files (better samples than from
using '-Mcsv:text/plain').
+ Add support for indexing .msg files from Microsoft Outlook (using the Perl
module Email::Outlook::Message. (ticket#334)
+ Improve --help for --mime-type option.
+ Optionally use libmagic to detect MIME types for files for which we have no
extension mapping, which allows us to handle files with a misleading
extension, or no extension at all. (ticket#114)
+ Add new --filter option which allows the user to specify new filters
provided they return UTF-8 text on stdout.
+ If a filter command isn't installed, previously we wouldn't try it again
for the same file extension - now we won't try it again for the same
mime-type.
+ Index the leafname of the file (without any extension) as extra keywords.
+ Extract author from HTML, OpenDocument, and PDF files. Index it with an A
prefix, and add it as a field.
+ Add support for indexing text and metadata from SVG files.
+ Extract metadata from Microsoft Office 2007 file formats.
+ Index text in headers and footers for .odt and .docx files.
+ Use the CSV parser to generate a nicer sample for files of type
application/vnd.ms-excel.
+ Add support for indexing Debian and RPM package files (ticket#493).
+ Make the memory limit for filter processes the size of physical memory,
which is a little less arbitrary than 7/8 of this value (ticket#424).
+ Under --duplicate=ignore, fix so that old documents which aren't seen get
deleted, which wasn't implemented before (to suppress this deletion, pass
-p as well).
+ Rename the short option for --version from -v to -V for consistency with
scriptindex and many other packages, and to free up -v as the short option
for --verbose. For backward compatibility, "omindex -v" is handled
specially and still reports the version.
+ Add --verbose option, and disable the less interesting output unless it is
specified.
+ Deprecate "--preserve-nonduplicates" in favour of new long option
"--no-delete" which does the same thing, but has a clearer name.
+ The deletion of documents pass at the end of indexing is now more
efficient. We track how many documents in the database we haven't seen so
we can stop once we've found them all (a particularly big improvement if
there are no documents to delete), and we now use a PostingIterator over
all documents which avoids needing to catch an exception for every gap in
the used document ids.
+ Quietly ignore files with mimetype set to "ignore". The initial list of
extensions set to ignore is: .a .dll .dylib .exe .lib .o .obj .so
+ Index file owner and read permissions, to allow finding documents with a
particular owner, and so searches can be restricted to documents a user is
able to read.
+ Add file size as a document value, so you can sort on it and filter by it.
* scriptindex:
+ Fix file descriptor leak if the LOADFILE action is used on something which
isn't a file.
omega:
* Make sure we write out HTTP headers when reporting an error early on.
* Extend $field to take an optional DOCID argument, rather than always using
the context from $hitlist.
* Add new $emptydocs command which returns a list of documents with doclength
zero.
* Add support for size: range filtering. Currently the end points of the range
have to be specified in bytes (e.g. size:102400..204800 for 100-200KB).
templates:
* templates/emptydocs: New template which lists documents with doclength zero.
build system:
* configure: Probe for any options needed to enable large file support.
Handling files >= 2GB isn't especially useful, but more importantly this is
needed to allow omindex to index files on filing systems with 64 bit inodes
on some platforms (e.g. 32-bit Linux).
* Use -no-undefined on platforms which need it to dynamically link such as
cygwin (need to do this taken from ticket#282).
portability:
* Fix to compile with Sun C++.
Omega 1.2.3 (2010-08-24):
documentation:
* docs/termprefixes.html: Update "flint and quartz" to "flint and chert" as
quartz is no longer supported. Give exact term length limit for flint and
chert.
packaging:
* xapian-omega.spec: Don't run autoreconf - it's no longer required.
Omega 1.2.2 (2010-06-27):
portability:
* Apply getopt portability fixes from xapian-core 1.2.0, fixing build failures
on Mac OS X (and probably some other platforms with non-GNU getopt
implementations). (ticket#469)
Omega 1.2.1 (2010-06-22):
This release includes all changes from 1.0.21 which are relevant.
Omega 1.2.0 (2010-04-28):
This release includes all changes from 1.0.20 which are relevant.
build system:
* configure: Tell libtool not to link in deplibs on platforms where we know
they aren't needed.
* configure: On Linux, extract the library search path from ldconfig which
gives us the default entries reliably.
Omega 1.1.5 (2010-04-15):
This release includes all changes from 1.0.19 which are relevant.
Omega 1.1.4 (2010-02-15):
This release includes all changes from 1.0.18 which are relevant.
omega:
* Use the optimised integer to string conversion routines from xapian-core.
Omega 1.1.3 (2009-11-18):
This release includes all changes from 1.0.15-1.0.17 which are relevant.
templates:
* templates/query: If JavaScript is available, convert $field{modtime} to a
string on the client-side so that the timezone is correct. If JavaScript
isn't available, fall back to the existing behaviour of using UTC.
(ticket#314)
build system:
* configure: Default to looking for xapian-config-1.1 unless XAPIAN_CONFIG is
specified.
Omega 1.1.2 (2009-07-23):
This release includes all changes from 1.0.14 which are relevant.
indexers:
* omindex:
+ Handle the "macroenabled" versions of MS Office 2007 files too
(ticket#290).
+ Extract pptx notesSlides and comments, if present. (ticket#290).
Omega 1.1.1 (2009-06-09):
This release includes all changes from 1.0.13 which are relevant.
indexers:
* omindex:
+ Check the last modification time of files before reindexing (ticket#342).
+ Add "--spelling" option to index spelling correction data.
* scriptindex:
+ Add new "spell" action for indexing spelling correction data (ticket#296).
omega:
* Add $suggestion and $opt{spelling} to provide access to spelling correction
(ticket#296).
* Add $opt{weighting} to allow the weighting scheme and parameters to be
specified (ticket#298).
* If SERVER_PROTOCOL in the environment is set to INCLUDED, then our output is
being included in another page (e.g. using SSI) so suppress the output of any
HTTP headers.
templates:
* templates/query: Offer any spelling correction QueryParser gives.
build system:
* configure: Sync warning flags used with GCC with xapian-core apart from
-Woverloaded-virtual which fires for MyHtmlParser::parse_html(). That
probably should be tidied up at some point, but not right now.
Omega 1.1.0 (2009-04-23):
indexers:
* scriptindex:
+ Make deprecated "index=nopos" an error.
omega:
* New OmegaScript command $transform{} which performs regular expression
substitutions using the PCRE library (which is now required to build Omega).
(ticket#231)
build system:
* The build system is now bootstrapped with newer versions of autoconf and
libtool which should produce smaller files and speed up configure and
make.
Omega 1.0.23 (2011-01-14):
indexers:
* omindex:
+ Escape wildcard patterns being passed to unzip - in the unlikely event that
one of these matched files in or under the current directory, we might fail
to extract all the files we wanted to when indexing document formats like
OpenDocument which use a zip file container.
+ The parser for OpenDocument metadata wasn't initialising its "state" field.
Often you'd be lucky and it would be initialised to zero, but this could
have caused misparsing of metadata in some cases.
* scriptindex: Fix file descriptor leak if the LOADFILE action is used on
something that isn't a file.
* If fstat() fails when trying to load a file, preserve the errno value from
the fstat call to report to the user.
portability:
* configure: Probe for any options needed to enable large file support.
Handling files >= 2GB isn't especially useful, but more importantly this is
needed to allow omindex to index files on filing systems with 64 bit inodes
on some platforms (e.g. 32-bit Linux).
* Add -no-undefined to AM_LDFLAGS on platforms which need it to dynamically
link such as cygwin (need to do this taken from ticket#282).
Omega 1.0.22 (2010-10-03):
portability:
* Fix to compile with Sun C++.
Omega 1.0.21 (2010-05-18):
portability:
* Fix build failure in freemem.cc on Microsoft Windows.
Omega 1.0.20 (2010-04-27):
portability:
* Fix build failure on Mac OS X and possibly some other platforms (regression
caused by fix for getopt-related warnings on Cygwin in 1.0.19).
Omega 1.0.19 (2010-04-15):
portability:
* Fix getopt-related warning on Cygwin.
Omega 1.0.18 (2010-02-14):
indexers:
* Make the default charset "utf-8" not "UTF-8" as we lower case explicitly
specified character sets to compare to see if we need to reparse. Previously
XML documents which explicitly specified their character set as UTF-8 would
cause needless restart or the parser.
* omindex:
+ Increase the wdf boost for the document title from 2 to 5, since 2 isn't
really enough.
* scriptindex:
+ Don't abort with "Unknown Exception" if indexing is disallowed or we hit
for a document which had an overridden character set. Fixes
ticket#410.
Omega 1.0.17 (2009-11-18):
indexers:
* omindex:
+ On Linux, change the memory limit on external filters to use _SC_PHYS_PAGES
since _SC_AVPHYS_PAGES excludes pages used by the OS cache and so will
often report a really low value. Fixes Debian bug#548987 and ticket#358.
+ Fix likely crash when reading output from external filter program if read()
is interrupted by a signal.
+ Fix potential crash when indexing PostScript files (fixed by using delete[]
(not delete) for array allocated by new[]).
testsuite:
* utf8converttest: Charset "8859_1" isn't understood by Solaris libiconv, and
isn't a standard charset name, so just test it when using our built-in
converter and GNU libc.
portability:
* Fix build failure on Mac OS X 10.6.
* Also check for socketpair() in -lxnet if it isn't found without, which
enables resource limits on external filter programs called by omindex on
Solaris, and possibly some other platforms. Fixes ticket#412.
Omega 1.0.16 (2009-09-10):
* omega: Fix cross-site scripting vulnerability in reporting of exceptions
(CVE-2009-2947).
Omega 1.0.15 (2009-08-26):
general:
* omegascript.vim: The list of OmegaScript commands in the vim mode was rather
out of date, and a few commands were misclassified. Fix both problems and
avoid future recurrences by automatically generating those lists from the
command list in query.cc.
documentation:
* omegascript.html: Document that $date uses UTC. (ticket#314)
templates:
* query: Link to "xapian.org" rather than "www.xapian.org".
* inc/toptermsjs: Use double-quotes rather than single quotes for parameter
values on the
