Version 0.1.2
November 10, 2005

Daemon/Infrastructure:
* Added date range searches. (Joe Shaw, Jon Trowbridge)
* Fixed a bug where sending a query to the daemon would cause a helper
  process to start.  (Joe)
* Fixed a bug in libbeagle to use our query parser rather than plain text.
  (Joe)
* Added keyword based query support e.g. title:beagle. (D Bera)
* Updated pruning of old log files. (Lukas Lipka)
* Updated to dotLucene 1.9 RC1. (Daniel Drake)
* Lucene locking bug fix. (Daniel)
* Small lucene optimizations. (Daniel)
* Consolidated glue code into two libraries: libbeagleglue and
  libbeagleuiglue. (Daniel)
* Fixed two scheduler-related crashes associated with a null task source.
  (Daniel)
* New Uri serialization scheme. (Daniel)
* Allow inotify to be build conditionally. (Daniel)
* Updated our local copy of SqliteClient with recent upstream changes.
  (Daniel)
* Switched from Mono.Posix (which is deprecated) to Mono.Unix. (Daniel)
* Fixed some possible instances of unhandled exceptions in the
  inotify and scheduler code. (Joe)
* Fixed a bug in the scheduler's immediate priority throttling code.
  (Joe)
* Added catch-all exception handlers to beagled, the index helper, and
  beagle-build-index so that if an unhandled exception happens, the
  program exits immediately and doesn't leave around a hung process.
  (Joe)
* Fixed a race in which the user could start a query against an empty
  index, documents could be added to the index, but live queries would
  never be updated until the query was rerun. (Joe)
* Fixed a bug in which the document count in the daemon wasn't being
  updated after a flush in the helper. (Joe)
* Converted all times stored in the index and file attribute store to UTC,
  to avoid time zone issues. (Jon, Joe, Bera)
* Added a status infrastructure to the daemon, which allows clients to see
  if the daemon is in the process of indexing.  (Joe)
* Fixed some bugs related to date range searches, particularly the start
  date.  (Joe)
* Reuse StringBuilders in scheduler and query code. (Daniel)
* Fixed handling of dangling locks. (Daniel)
* Fixed another lucene leak. (Marcus)
* Switched to thread-local static buffers when writing indexables out to
  temporary files.  This avoids a lot of allocations. (Jon)
* Reuse StringBuilders in the IM Log parser and DirectoryWalker. (Jon)
* Small improvements to the beagled and index helper wrapper scripts. (Jon)
* Revamped logging. (Jon)
* Fixed marshaling of C strings to StringBuilders in sys_readdir. (Joe,
  Jon)
* Relative paths in BEAGLE_HOME and BEAGLE_STORAGE now work. (Jon)
* Added --indexing-test-mode to the daemon, which causes it to shut
  down automatically when indexing is complete. (Jon)

Backends:
* Moved gaim and kopete log parsing into a filter.  This can dramatically
  decrease the amount of memory used by the daemon. (Daniel)
* If a shutdown is request while the Evolution mail crawler is running,
  short-circuit for a faster shutdown. (Joe)
* Add a new inotify-based method of writing data out to the indexing
  service. (Joe)
* Fixed a bug in which certain backends would index much more slowly if
  they had already seen data, like mail. (Joe)
* Changed Liferea, Blam and Akregator backends to use stream parsing
  instead of serializer. (D Bera)
* Better warning if kmail backend finds bad kmail mfolder. (D Bera)
* Index the full name in the addressbook backend, so that searches on
  middle names match.  (Joe)
* In the file system backend, we now store the file extension in a property
  and drop the file extension in the property containing the
  "textified" name. (Jon)

Filters:
* Fixed 316120 - PPT filter crash due to gsf-sharp. (Veerapuram Varadhan)
* Fixed DOC filter/wv1-glue to be compatible with wv-1.2.0. (Varadhan)

  speeds up the extension and uses vastly fewer resources.  (Joe)
* Bumped the supported version of the Firefox extension to 1.5, as it is
  reported to work with the Firefox 1.5 betas. (Joe)

------------------------------------------------------

Version 0.1.0
September 15, 2005

Daemon/Infrastructure:
* New and vastly improved Lucene infrastructure. Highlights include:
  + The indexing and querying code has been split.  The entire
    architecture is much cleaner, and we have been able to eliminate
    several horrible hacks that had been introduced for the benefit
    of the file system backend.
  + The index is now semi-transactional; we can make now make some
    guarantees about the index and the beagle-specific filesystem
    metadata not getting dangerously out-of-sync in the event of a
    crash.
  + It is now possible to efficiently modify certain index properties.
  + Hits now are returned in time-order, not score-order.  Scores
    are still available, though will not agree with the old scores
    in some cases.
  + Querying is faster, our query language is better, and the query
    semantics are much more sane.
  + We are much more intelligent about when we optimize the Lucene indexes.
  + Indexables are now abstract indexing requests, and IndexableGenerators
    can thus now manipulate the index in arbitrary ways.
  + Many, many bugs have been fixed.
  (Jon Trowbridge, Joe Shaw, Fredrik Hedberg, Daniel Drake)
* Many bugs involving queries have been fixed, and the query semantics have
  changed.  Querys now default to 'AND', not 'OR'. (Jon, Joe)
* Fixes to avoid stop words ("a", "the", etc.) causing problems during
  queries. (Joe)
* When using a remote home directory, create the unix domain socket
  locally since some filesystems don't support them (like smbfs). (Joe)
* When capping the number of hits returned from the daemon, we now
  return the N most recent hits, not the N highest-scoring hits. (Jon)
* Don't reload config files that haven't changed since we last loaded them.
  (Daniel)
* Reduce inotify watch masks when we can. (Daniel)
* Maintain parent-child relationships when watches are moved. (Daniel)
* Fix a crasher in libbeagle related to using g_stat(). (Joe)
* Update to gtk-sharp 2.x APIs. (Joe, Lluís Pàmies)
* Add an --enable-xml-dump configure option for debugging message
  passing between components. (Joe)
* Many fixes to libbeagle to keep it up-to-date with the C# code. (Joe)
* Fixed encoding of keyword property names in Lucene. (Debajyoti Bera)
* Use gnome-vfs's slow mime sniffing on files with the .xml extension.
  (Chris Lahey)
* Local index-synchronization when using NFS & Samba. (Fredrik, Joe)
* Support IO priorities by setting the indexing thread to idle. (Fredrik,
  Robert Love)
* Workaround a bug in Mono.Posix.Syscall.readdir to support strange
  encodings. (Fredrik)
* Use transactions more efficiently in our sqlite databases. (Jon)
* Don't poll to check for Inotify.Stop calls while snarfing events. (Jon)
* Don't leak files in /tmp on exceptions or daemon shutdown. (Jon)
* Scheduler improvements and bug fixes.  Tasks are now round-robined
  correctly. (Jon)
* Pass a stemmed, stopword-free version of the query back to the client
  along with the query results, for use by the client app when
  highlighting matches, etc. (Jon)

Backends:
* Migrated all of the backends to the new lucene infrastructure.  (Joe,
  Fredrik, Daniel, Jon)
* The file system backend has been extensively refactored.  It still isn't
  perfect, but has been substantially improved. (Jon, Daniel, Joe, Fredrik) 
* Allow file system exclude patterns/paths to be set through
  beagle-config. (Daniel)
* Misc filesystem backend fixes to do the right thing when we add/remove
  exclude patterns/paths. (Daniel)
* Fix removing of file system roots. (Daniel)
* Merge the concepts of 'scan' and 'crawl' in filesystem backend. (Daniel)
* Rewrite Evolution Data Server backend to support all local
  addressbooks and calendars with change notification, based on Varadhan's
  work in evolution-sharp. (Joe)
* Fix a major bottleneck in starting up the mail backend with IMAP
  accounts that would use large amounts of CPU at startup. (Joe)
* Fix a bug where IMAP accounts against Exchange servers weren't being
  indexed. (Joe)
* Index all IM accounts, not just the first one of each type, in the
  Evolution Data Server backend. (Joe)
* Support snippets, text-caching and hit filtering on static-indexes.
  (Fredrik)

  Boris Peterbarg)
* Don't leave zombie processes when indexing PDF and spreadsheet
  files. (Daniel)
* Lower the priority class when calling pdfinfo, so that it doesn't
  dominate the CPU on expensive runs (Paul Betts)

  persistent way. (Joe)
* Allow beagle-manage-index to work on versioned indexes. (Daniel)

* Use the title of the document as the main link in a file tile if set.
  Especially nice for HTML files. (Joe)
* Don't try to put presence on the mail tile if galago support is on,
  but evolution-sharp isn't. (Joe)
* Fix a date bug where some results would display as happening "-N days
  ago". (Joe)
* Thumbnail file hits. (Debajyoti, Joe)
* Don't run the crawler as part of cron.daily, because it can happen at
  any point during the day and it's an expensive operation.  Add a crontab
  entry which runs at 4:30 am. (Joe)
* Update the Best keybinding code from Tomboy.  Fixes many bugs related
  to different modifiers (num lock, scroll lock, alt, etc.) and fixes many
  "BadValue" crashers. (Alex Graveley, Joe)
