------------------------------------------------------

Version 0.1.0
September 15, 2005

Daemon/Infrastructure:
* New and vastly improved Lucene infrastructure. Highlights include:
  + The indexing and querying code has been split.  The entire
    architecture is much cleaner, and we have been able to eliminate
    several horrible hacks that had been introduced for the benefit
    of the file system backend.
  + The index is now semi-transactional; we can make now make some
    guarantees about the index and the beagle-specific filesystem
    metadata not getting dangerously out-of-sync in the event of a
    crash.
  + It is now possible to efficiently modify certain index properties.
  + Hits now are returned in time-order, not score-order.  Scores
    are still available, though will not agree with the old scores
    in some cases.
  + Querying is faster, our query language is better, and the query
    semantics are much more sane.
  + We are much more intelligent about when we optimize the Lucene indexes.
  + Indexables are now abstract indexing requests, and IndexableGenerators
    can thus now manipulate the index in arbitrary ways.
  + Many, many bugs have been fixed.
  (Jon Trowbridge, Joe Shaw, Fredrik Hedberg, Daniel Drake)
* Many bugs involving queries have been fixed, and the query semantics have
  changed.  Querys now default to 'AND', not 'OR'. (Jon, Joe)
* Fixes to avoid stop words ("a", "the", etc.) causing problems during
  queries. (Joe)
* When using a remote home directory, create the unix domain socket
  locally since some filesystems don't support them (like smbfs). (Joe)
* When capping the number of hits returned from the daemon, we now
  return the N most recent hits, not the N highest-scoring hits. (Jon)
* Don't reload config files that haven't changed since we last loaded them.
  (Daniel)
* Reduce inotify watch masks when we can. (Daniel)
* Maintain parent-child relationships when watches are moved. (Daniel)
* Fix a crasher in libbeagle related to using g_stat(). (Joe)
* Update to gtk-sharp 2.x APIs. (Joe, Lluís Pàmies)

  along with the query results, for use by the client app when
  highlighting matches, etc. (Jon)

Backends:

  perfect, but has been substantially improved. (Jon, Daniel, Joe, Fredrik)

  exclude patterns/paths. (Daniel)

  addressbooks and calendars with change notification, based on Varadhan's
  work in evolution-sharp. (Joe)

  accounts that would use large amounts of CPU at startup. (Joe)
* Fix a bug where IMAP accounts against Exchange servers weren't being
  indexed. (Joe)

  Boris Peterbarg)

  files. (Daniel)

  but evolution-sharp isn't. (Joe)
* Fix a date bug where some results would display as happening "-N days
  ago". (Joe)
* Thumbnail file hits. (Debajyoti, Joe)
* Don't run the crawler as part of cron.daily, because it can happen at
  any point during the day and it's an expensive operation.  Add a crontab
  entry which runs at 4:30 am. (Joe)
* Update the Best keybinding code from Tomboy.  Fixes many bugs related
  to different modifiers (num lock, scroll lock, alt, etc.) and fixes many
  "BadValue" crashers. (Alex Graveley, Joe)

  other problems with the best tray icon. (Rodrigo Moya)
