Hi,
I'm pleased to announce the release of Beagle 0.2.18. This
is a bug
fix release, mainly to handle API breakage in
evolution-sharp.
THE SHORT OF IT
---------------
To download the 0.2.18 release or learn more about Beagle,
visit
the Beagle web page:
http://beagle-project.org
[ Due to a temporary problem with the GNOME FTP server, the
tarball
is also available here:
http://primates.ximian.com/~joe/beagle-0.2.18.tar.gz
]
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 0.13.3
* 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
NOTABLE CHANGES BETWEEN 0.2.17 AND 0.2.18
-----------------------------------------
* Build and run against evolution-sharp 0.13.3.
* No longer recrawl directories if we can't set up an
inotify watch.
This fixes the looping bug of death when the screensaver
kicks in.
* Greatly improve indexing overhead with the
beagle-build-index tool.
* Display a warning in the log if the number of inotify
watches runs
out.
* Fix a problem in which beagle-search wouldn't work after a
daemon
restart. [bgo #463803]
* Fix a bug in which processing large numbers of maildir
files could
cause beagled to run out of file descriptors. [bgo
#466891]
* Add support for the ~/.liferea_1.2 directory to the
Liferea
backend. [bgo #426573]
* Add support for PDF keywords, and allow colons in PDF
metadata.
[bgo #463003]
* Ignore legal.xml files in the Docbook filter, since
they're largely
content-less and frequently duplicated.
* Fix the SQL used to retrieve tag information from the
Digikam DB.
[bgo #454656]
* Improve error reporting throughout.

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.
