STATUS of ht://Dig branch 3-2-x RELEASES: 3.2.0b1: Tentative Release: 2 Feb 2000, Hard Feature Freeze SHOWSTOPPERS: * (none at the moment) KNOWN BUGS: * htdig/Image.cc doesn't use Transport classes. * URL.cc tries to parse malformed URLs (which causes further problems) (It should probably just set everything to empty) This relates to PR#348. * Server.cc does not use authentication when retrieving robots.txt: PR#490. * Parsing of <meta> description tags and <img> alt text does not decode SGML entities properly: PR#614. * Not all htsearch input parameters are handled properly: PR#648. * If exact isn't specified in the search_algorithms, $(WORDS) is not set correctly: PR#650. * htfuzzy endings: use of unlink fails if TMPDIR is not on the same volume. PENDING FEATURES: * (Is there anything approved and not in the current CVS tree?) TESTING: * ExternalTransport with non 'http' URLs. * URL parser * htfuzzy tests * New config parser * Reports of problems with long timeouts (e.g PR#350) DOCUMENTATION: * Update cf_* pages to mention regex, new config parser (i.e. URL-dependent config) * Update to mention phrase searching, regex fuzzy OTHER ISSUES: * Can htsearch actually search while an index is being created? * Can we reproduce the DB2 errors that sometimes cropped up in 3.1.x? (e.g. PR#473, PR#476) * Is the HTML output of htsearch HTML 4.0 strictly compliant? * Do IP addresses for start_urls cause problems?: PR#634. * Does Document::Retrieve or Transport close the connection properly? (it didn't in 3.1.x): PR#670. * Error messages should be more informative if no URLs are indexed by htdig or htmerge. PR#672. * Reported problem where -h is ignored if modification_time_is_now set to false. (Should mod_time_is_now just be true and removed as an attribute?) * Are there timing/race conditions with the htnet Connection code? * Retriever::Start() picks the next server regardless of persistent connections: the next server should be picked from a priority queue depending on the delay, hopcount, and use of persistent connections. ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from the htdig3-dev mailing list, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You will receive a message to confirm this.
