- Update to version 1.4.17:
* No user-visible change except for bumping the version to indicate
compatibility with Xapian-core 1.4.17.
- Update to version 1.4.16:
+ General:
* Remove code to support SVN snapshots since we stopped using SVN more than 5
years ago.
* Ignore overloads for logical ops, *, /. These were already ignored for
several languages, and aren't actually usefully wrapped for any of the other
languages.
+ CSharp:
* Work around mono terminfo parsing bug in more cases. With this, "make",
"make check", "make install" and "make uninstall" all work on Ubuntu 18.10.
Patch from Dipanshu Garg, fixes https://github.com/xapian/xapian/pull/287 and
#801.
+ Lua:
* Allow passing a Lua function as a MatchSpy. This was supposed to be
supported already, but the typemaps weren't set up.
* On platforms where sizeof(long) is 4, SWIG was wrapping Xapian::BAD_VALUENO
as a negative constant in Lua, which was then rejected by a check which
disallows passing negative values for unsigned C++ types. We now direct SWIG
to handle Xapian::valueno as double (which is what numbers in Lua usually
actually are) which gives us an unsigned constant, and also eliminates the
negative value check.
* Correct documentation - get_description() is wrapped as tostring() in Lua,
not str() as we previously claimed.
* Add test coverage for passing Lua function for a Stopper.
+ Perl:
* Resolve the remaining issues and remove the "experimental" marker:
+ Add search_xapian_compat() function which sets up aliases in the
