Version 0.3.4
23 March 2008

* Need Mono at least 1.2.6; recommended at 1.9

* GMime-sharp recommended at least 2.2.16

* Add API to set the number of words and the total length of the snippets.

* Move to Lucene.Net 2.1 (backported a faster analyzer and other improvements).

* Move query mapping (e.g. mappings for ext:, genre:) to a separate user editable /etc/beagle/query-mapping.xml (global) and ~/.beagle/query-mapping.xml (local). beagled needs to be restarted to read the new mappings.

* Expose a Hide/Show DBus interface for beagle-search.

* Firefox search bar plugin to query using beagle's web interface.

* Add a tool beagle-static-query to query beagle without starting beagled. This is mainly meant for static indexes (like locate with the system index, like mod for a monodoc index).

* Lots of beagle-search beautification.

* Add a query mapping "filename:" to query for filenames and words in it (e.g. match My in MyFile.txt and My_File.txt).

* Enable the TeXinfo filter.

* Add a filter for .info files (including gz/bz2/lzma compressed info files). manpages crawl rule now contains /usr/share/info.

* SIGUSR2 will now also print runtime debugging information of beagled.

* Use the new Mono.Unix.UnixSignal if built with mono 1.9. This should remove the last of the beagled/index-helper hangs during shutdown.

* Add the missing files for the firefox extension sidebar.

* Show a better error message if ~/.beagle is not found when the firefox extension is started (should help debian #463922).

* Fixes #514252 (evo backends now explicitly reference glib-sharp)

* Fixes #509487 (use LANG=C when external programs are started from any filter)

* Fix build with mono 1.9 and gnome-sharp 2.20 (#514252, #518220)

* Fix property change indexing (renames, moves etc.) which broke in 0.3.0

* Fix our filter matching algorithm to correctly choose filters in the right order and move to the next one if one filter fails.

* Fix file leak in ebuild filter.

* Clean up some tmp files which could have left behind during a corner case.

* Fix a startup crash in the Pidgin backend if the Pidgin log directory is absent during beagled startup.

* Check for msgfmt in ./configure before building.

* Fix glib-critical warnings in libbeagle (and python bindings) when snippets with empty fragments were sent by beagled.

* Fix some bugs in snippet due to which valid matches were not included in the snippets.

* Timeout in libbeagle if connection to beagled takes more than 5 secs. This will prevent hangs in konqueror/gtkfilechooser if beagled is hanged for some reason.

* Do not throw error if scheduler information and index information is empty since they can actually be empty.
