- Update to 1.4.14:
* Python3:
+ Remove broken replicationtest.py. It's never worked reliably, and because
of that was disabled shortly after being added over a decade ago.
Unsurprisingly it's bit-rotted at least a bit since. Nobody seems interested
in fixing it, so it's time to just get rid of it.
- Remove the python2 bindings
- Rebase patch:
* do-not-use-sphinx.diff
- Update to 1.4.13:
* General:
+ Omit SWIG exception handling for destructors. Since C++11, destructors can't
throw by default and we don't override that default, so there's no point
adding exception handling code for them.
+ Ensure doccomments.i is distributed. If you unpacked a distribution tarball,
configured it and then ran "make dist" python/doccomments.i and
python3/doccomments.i would be missing unless you configured the tree with
--enable-maintainer-mode.
* PHP:
+ Check for php-config5.6 and php-config5.5 in configure as these versioned
names are used in some packages (such as those from the ondrej/php PPA).
* PHP7:
+ Work around build failure on Illuminos. Fixes
https://trac.xapian.org/ticket/793, reported by Amitai Schleier.
* Ruby:
+ smoketest.rb: Use #push not #append on Array to restore compatibility with
Ruby < 2.5 (broken by changes in 1.4.12).
+ Expand tabs in Ruby code since using spaces for indentation seems to be
preferred Ruby style.
+ Remove trailing `;` from Ruby code.
- Update to 1.4.12:
* Documentation:
+ Update bindings HACKING document. Reported as out of date by Niwesh Gupta.
* CSharp:
+ Work around mono terminfo parsing bug - older cli-sn fails with e.g.
TERM=xterm-256color due to: https://github.com/mono/mono/issues/6752
Encountered on Kubuntu 18.10 and debugged by Tejasvi Tomar. Seems to be
fixed in the mono version in Debian buster.
* Perl:
+ Suppress warnings from older Perl headers due to use of constructs which look
like C++11 user-defined literals. They're fixed in newer versions so they're
just noise in our build. We were working around these in the CI build, so
drop that workaround as we want to make the build warning-clean for users
too. Reported by daniel93 on #xapian.
* Python3:
+ Fix build for changes in Sphinx 2.0 (which drops support for sphinx.main()).
Fixes #778, reported by karolyi. Also reported by Gaurav Arora.
+ We now throw UnicodeEncodeError for bad Unicode string input. Previously
cases such as a lone surrogate would be handled by quietly skipping the bad
codepoints when converting to UTF-8 to pass to Xapian.
+ We no longer use the deprecated old-style Py_UNICODE API, which currently
gives deprecation warnings and is slated to be removed in Python 4.0.
* Ruby:
+ Add support for block iteration. All the iterator methods in the Ruby API
now accept an optional block. If no block is given an array is returned so
existing code will still work. Partly based on a patch in
https://github.com/xapian/xapian/pull/232 from Cong Ding.
+ Add missing wrappers for all the C++ methods returning iterators which
weren't wrapped for Ruby. Fixes #777, reported by do.
+ Suppress warnings from Ruby 2.3 headers due to use of register and
constructs which look like C++11 user-defined literals. They're fixed in
newer versions so they're just noise in our build. We were working around
these in the CI build, so drop that workaround as we want to make the build
warning-clean for users too. Reported by daniel93 on #xapian.
+ smoketest.rb: Don't leave temporary databases behind in /tmp.
- Update to 1.4.11:
* CSharp:
+ Make MatchAll and MatchNothing readonly.
* Java:
+ Simplify load-time setup of Query.OP_OR, etc which are provided for
compatibility with the original hand-written JNI bindings.
* PHP:
+ We now load the module for "make check" using -d extension=xapian which
avoids needing to turn off safe_mode and turn on enable_dl, and matches how
the module is usually loaded in production use.
* PHP7:
+ Fix access to already released memory during PHP module shutdown, which often
didn't cause visible problems, but could result in segmentation faults, bus
errors, etc.
+ Fix generated code to compile when using a ZTS-enabled build of PHP.
+ We now load the module for "make check" using -d extension=xapian which
avoids needing to turn off safe_mode and turn on enable_dl, and matches how
the module is usually loaded in production use.
- Update to 1.4.10:
* Documentation:
+ Use https for URLs where supported.
* General:
+ Wrap new DatabaseClosedError and DatabaseNotFoundError exceptions.
See #772 and #773. Patches from Vaibhav Kansagara.
+ Update expected query descriptions in tests for the xapian-core
change to produce flatter Query trees.
+ Workaround Perl 5.28 -i quirk when postprocessing SWIG-generated code.
The commands in question are only run when maintainer-mode is enabled.
* CSharp:
+ C++ constant Xapian::BAD_VALUENO is now wrapped without using a getter.
This shouldn't affect existing user code.
* Java:
+ C++ constant Xapian::BAD_VALUENO is now wrapped as Java constant
Xapian.BAD_VALUENO. The previous Java wrapping as function
Xapian.getBAD_VALUENO() is still supported for compatibility with
existing code.
+ Remove redundant std::string initialisation.
* Lua:
+ C++ constant Xapian::BAD_VALUENO is now wrapped as a constant rather than
an immutable attribute. This shouldn't affect existing user code.
* Perl:
+ C++ constant Xapian::BAD_VALUENO is now wrapped as Perl constant
Xapian::BAD_VALUENO. The previous Perl wrapping as variable
$Xapian::BAD_VALUENO is still supported for compatibility with existing
code.
+ Note in the POD documentation that the Error base classes which are abstract
in C++ don't have a new method in Perl.
* PHP:
+ C++ constant Xapian::BAD_VALUENO is now wrapped as PHP constant
Xapian::BAD_VALUENO. The previous PHP wrapping as function
Xapian::BAD_VALUENO_get() is still supported for compatibility with existing
code.
+ Remove code to work around a SWIG bug which was fixed in 2006.
* PHP7:
+ C++ constant Xapian::BAD_VALUENO is now wrapped as PHP constant
Xapian::BAD_VALUENO. The previous PHP wrapping as function
Xapian::BAD_VALUENO_get() is still supported for compatibility with existing
code.
+ configure: Check for php-config7.3 and php-config7.2 as well as
php-config7.1, php-config7.0 and php-config.
+ Correct references to PHP5 in PHP7 script comments.
+ Remove some C code which is no longer needed with PHP7.
* Ruby:
+ C++ constant Xapian::BAD_VALUENO is now wrapped as Ruby constant
Xapian::BAD_VALUENO. The previous Ruby wrapping as function
Xapian::BAD_VALUENO() is still supported for compatibility with existing
code.
+ We now recommend using String#encode instead of the Iconv class, since the
latter is no longer included with Ruby.
* Tcl:
+ C++ constant Xapian::BAD_VALUENO is now wrapped as a constant rather than
variable which can't be written to. This shouldn't affect existing user
code.
