STATUS of ht://Dig branch 3-2-x RELEASES: 3.2.0b2: Release date X Apr 2000. 3.2.0b1: Released: 4 Feb 2000. SHOWSTOPPERS: * build_select_lists parses incorrectly. * collection_names doesn't seem to work in recent snapshots. KNOWN BUGS: * URL.cc tries to parse malformed URLs (which causes further problems) (It should probably just set everything to empty) This relates to PR#348. * 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. (The documentation for 3.2.0b1 is updated, but can we fix this?) * Modified database can cause problems with systems using the Berkeley db for other tasks (e.g. networking) PENDING FEATURES: * Forward-Porting of NNTP code. * Additional support for Win32. * Make URL and Server blocks match documentation--i.e. change config lookups in htdig to work as suggested. * Field-restricted searching * Date-restricted searching * Return all results * Update db and htdb code to synch with mifluz-0.14 (will fix last item above) * Duplicate document detection while indexing TESTING: * ExternalTransport with non 'http' URLs. * URL parser * htfuzzy tests * New config parser * htmerge -m DOCUMENTATION: * Update cf_* pages to mention new config parser (i.e. URL-dependent config) * Add thorough documentation on htsearch restrict/exclude behavior (including | and regex). * require.html is not updated to list new features and disk space requirements of 3.2.x (e.g. phrase searching, regex matching, external parsers and transport methods, database compression.) * TODO.html has not been updated for current TODO list and completions. * Need man-style pages for the httool programs as well as updates to the existing htdig.html page. 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) (Now partially resolved--we can now stop on an error message using gdb.) * Error messages should be more informative if no URLs are indexed by htdig PR#672. In short, programs should do a little more checking. ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from the htdig3-dev mailing list, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You will receive a message to confirm this.
