Hi,
I'm pleased to announce the release of Beagle 0.2.16. This
is strictly
a bug fix release.
THE SHORT OF IT
---------------
To download the 0.2.16 release or learn more about Beagle,
visit
the Beagle web page:
http://beagle-project.org
WHAT IS BEAGLE?
---------------
Beagle is a Linux desktop-independent service which
transparently and
unobtrusively indexes your data in real-time. For example:
* Files are immediately indexed when they are created, are
re-indexed
when they are modified, and are dropped from the index
upon deletion.
* E-mails are indexed upon arrival.
* IM conversations are indexed as you chat, a line at a
time.
* Web pages are indexed as you view them (with a browser
extension).
Beagle supports many different data sources and file
formats. For a
complete listing, visit:
http://
beagle-project.org/Supported_Filetypes
Beagle uses the Lucene indexing system from the Apache
project and the
prodigious Doug Cutting, ported to .NET by George Aroush.
Beagle includes an optional GNOME-based graphical tool for
searching
its indexes.

DEPENDENCY HECK
---------------
The Beagle daemon requires at least:
* Mono 1.1.13.5
* glib-sharp 2.4.0
* GMime 2.2.0
* libexif 0.5.7
* shared-mime-info
* sqlite 2.x or 3.3.1
The GNOME user interface requires:
* gtk-sharp 2.4.0
* gnome-sharp 2.4.0
To support all of Beagle's features and file formats, you
should
also have:
* Mono 1.2.2 or better
* Firefox 1.5 or Epiphany
* Evolution-sharp 0.11.1 for Evolution Data Server 1.4 or
1.6,
or 0.12.2 for EDS 1.8 or 1.9.
* libgsf 1.14.1
* gsf-sharp 0.8.1 from
http://primates.ximian.com/~joe/gsf-sharp-0.8.1.tar.gz
* wv1 1.2.4
* pdfinfo and pdftotext from xpdf
* MPlayer or Totem 2.17.1
* Galago 0.5.x
* Linux kernel 2.6.13 with inotify
* An inotify-enabled kernel. Inotify is in the mainline
Linux
kernel as of 2.6.13.
NOTABLE CHANGES SINCE 0.2.15
----------------------------
* Roll back the Mono requirement to 1.1.13.5. The .NET 2.0
support
should be good enough in it, and it gives us access to
more released
distros (like Ubuntu Edgy and SUSE 10.1).
* Change our method of setting up limits on external
extractor
processes, because running JITted code in a child process
sometimes
causes runtime deadlocks. [bgo #402065]
* Fix a problem in our Sqlite schema where Beagle could loop
crawling
directories that started with zeros.
* Correctly handle filter versions while indexing, so that
if a filter
is upgraded to index more information, those files will
be
reindexed.
* Fix a problem where KMail folders were not being indexed.
[bgo
#391647 and #401767, bnc #238161]
* Fix an issue with the file system backend reporting that
it is
indexing even after it has finished.
* Fix an issue with the Evolution mail backend reporting
that it is
doing the initial crawl even if it is only reprocessing a
changed
mailbox.
* Fix an issue with the Konversation backend always
reporting that it
is indexing, prompting the info box in beagle-search.
* Many robustness improvements to the Konversation backend.
* Fixes to the image filter (extracting JFIF comments and
IPTC data,
among others).
* Fix a potential deadlock on PDF files that cause pdftotext
to spam
output to stderr.
* Fix the SVG filter to handle undeclared namespaces
gracefully.
[bgo #404787]
* Handle JavaScript comments inside HTML files properly.
* Workaround certain archive files that cause SharpZipLib to
loop
infinitely. [bgo #402280]
* Fix bugs caused by a change in behavior after switching to
the .NET
2.0 profile, mostly date-related.
* Fixed a problem where beagle-crawl-system was not being
properly
generated at configure-time. [bgo #401504]
* Translations:
- [New] Dzongkha (Pema Geyleg)
- Brazilian Portuguese (Igor Pires Soares)
- Catalan (Jordi Mas)
- Galician (Ignacio Casal Quinteiro)
- Japanese (Takeshi Aihana)
- Swedish (Daniel Nylander)

KNOWN ISSUES
------------
The Thunderbird backend is memory hungry and buggy. It is
now disabled by
default, but can be reenabled by passing in
--enable-thunderbird to
configure.
There are some race conditions that can occur with certain
combinations of
file system operations. In very rare cases it might be
necessary to stop
and restart the daemon.
At this point in development, we cannot commit to stable
APIs or file
formats. You will almost certainly need to reindex your
data at some
point in the future.
