Simple ranked searches now return correct number of hits. The test option (-s) only makes a read-lock on the index as well as using read-only operations anywhere. Moved towards generic character mapping. Configuration file default.idx specifies character map files for register types w, p, u, etc. Implemented "begin variant" for the sgml.regx - filter. Fixed a few memory leaks. Added support for C++, headers uses extern "C" for public definitions. Bug fix: The show records facility (-s) only displayed information for the first record in a file (and not for every record in the file). Added option "-f " to limit the logging of record operations. After records has been processed no logging is performed (unless errors occur). Bug fix: the compressed ISAM system didn't handle update operations correctly. Added setting, "maxResultSetSize", to hold the number of records to save in a result set. Bug fix: Complete phrase did't work for search operations. Bug fix: temporary result sets weren't deleted. Reduced disk space for saved keys (storeKeys = 1). Added optional, physical ANY (key replication) Implemented proximity operator in search. Bug fix: the path name buffers used by file match traversal routines have been extended to support long file names. New C(ompressed) ISAM system. To enable it, specify "isam: c" in the configuration file. The resulting register without "storeKeys" is about half the size, and the memory used by zebraidx during phase 2 (merge) is reduced to a minimum. Reworked the way Regexp-2 queries with error tolerance are handled and specified. The documentation has been updated accordingly. Bug fix: Zebrasrv didn't search correctly when queries contained masking characters. This bug was introduced in 1.0a8. Zebrasrv now tag records with the proper database name. New settings, memMax and keyTmpDir. Changed name of setting lockDir (previously called lockPath) and setTmpDir (previously called tempSetPath). Generalized and changed record type specifications. In short, there are: text plain SUTRS grs.sgml structured, "SGML-like" syntax grs.regx. structured, Regular expression filter grs.marc. Reads *MARC records in the ISO2709 format. is the name of an abstract syntax file. Bug fix: Result sets weren't sorted in operations involving boolean operations with "ranked" operands. --- 1.0a8 1996/6/6 Added national character-handling subsystem. Various fixes. Small modifications to input filters and profiles. Added support for SOIF syntax (with private OID). --- 1.0a7 1996/5/16 Fixed buffer-size problem in indexing. Added compression to temporary files for updating. Added phrase registers. Added dynamic mapping of search attribute to multiple termlists (ANY). Scan support in multiple databases/registers. Configuration settings are case-insensitive and single dash (-) characters are ignored in comparisons. The index processing ignores empty files - warning given. New option to zebraidx (-V) displays version information. --- 1.0a6 1996/2/24 Fixed problem in file-update system. Fixed problem in shadow system; register was sometimes corrupted after a commit operation. --- 1.0a5 1996/2/10 Fixed problems in the ISAM subsystem. Caused difficulties when updating existing registers. Fixed small problem in SUTRS-filter. A newline was sometimes inserted before the rank and record number. Fixed bug in the isam subsystem - caused a malfunction when accessing words which occurred more than 10000 times. Distribution should now include YAZ (Z39.50 protocol stack) to simplify installation. Server can now run under inetd. Use option -i, and -w to set working directory to desired location. New zebraidx command: clean - removes temporary shadow files. Fixed bug in ISAM system. Occurred rarely during register updates. Logging during index merge phase is improved. The remaining running time is estimated. Temporary files generated by zebraidx are removed after each run. Bug fix: Dictionary didn't handle 8-bit characters correctly; was obvious when doing scan operations in dictionaries with European characters. --- 1.0a4 1996/01/11 A whole slew of updates, to make the first publicized release. Get the doc and check it out. --- 1.0a3 1995/12/06 Memory-problems in ISAM fixed. More blocktypes added to the default setup to increase performance on larger databases. Various minor changes in data management system. --- 1.0a2 1995/12/05 A couple of portability-problems resolved. Changed some malloc() to xmalloc(). --- 1.0a1 1995/11/28 First release.
