This is a bug fix release fixing a crash in beagled for some users at start-up. It is strictly recommended to use 0.3.1 instead of 0.3.0. THE SHORT OF IT --------------- To download the 0.3.0 release or learn more about Beagle, visit the Beagle web page: http://beagle-project.org WHAT IS BEAGLE? --------------- Beagle is a Linux desktop-independent service which transparently and unobtrusively indexes your data in real-time. For example: * Files are immediately indexed when they are created, are re-indexed when they are modified, and are dropped from the index upon deletion. * E-mails are indexed upon arrival. * IM conversations are indexed as you chat, a line at a time. * Web pages are indexed as you view them (with a browser extension). * Notes and address-book entries are indexed as they are created. Beagle supports many different data sources and file formats. For a complete listing, visit: http://beagle-project.org/Supported_Filetypes Beagle uses the Lucene indexing system from the Apache project and the prodigious Doug Cutting, ported to .NET by George Aroush. Beagle includes an optional GNOME-based graphical tool for searching its indexes. Also included is an experimental web based search interface. To learn more about Beagle, visit: http://beagle-project.org/About DEPENDENCY HECK --------------- The Beagle daemon requires at least: * Mono 1.2.4 * glib-sharp 2.4.0 * GMime 2.2.0 * libexif 0.5.7 * shared-mime-info * sqlite 3.3.1 The GNOME user interface requires: * gtk-sharp 2.4.0 * gnome-sharp 2.4.0 To support all of Beagle's features and file formats, you should also have: * Mono 1.2.6 (yet to be released, this version will contain several changes which will improve beagle's CPU, memory and performance under battery) * GMime 2.2.11 * Firefox 1.5 or Epiphany * Evolution-sharp 0.13.3 * libgsf 1.14.1 * gsf-sharp 0.8.1 from http://primates.ximian.com/~joe/gsf-sharp-0.8.1.tar.gz * wv1 1.2.4 * pdfinfo and pdftotext from xpdf * MPlayer or Totem 2.17.1 * Galago 0.5.x * Linux kernel 2.6.13 with inotify NOTABLE CHANGES BETWEEN 0.3.0 and 0.3.1 ----------------------------------------- * Fix a crash sqlite3 users will face at startup when upgrading from 0.2.x. * Workaround a problem in which some HTML emails could cause the index-helper to take lots of memory and go into an infinite loop [bgo #501803]. * Fix a bug in which beagle-settings would grow wide on long directories [bgo #469298]. * Hide the Avahi service settings if Avahi was not enabled at configure time. * Drop our Images.dll assembly; instead load Tango icons from the icon theme and stock icons [bgo #398533]. * Workaround a crash in mono when hostname is 16 characters or longer. * Update video tiles layout in beagle-search. * Use bash for all our scripts. Makes it possible to run beagle-index-info where /bin/sh is not linked to /bin/bash. * Translations: - Catalan (Jordi Mas) - Spanish (Jorge Gonzalez) Contributors to this release: Debajyoti Bera, Lukas Lipka, Kevin Kubasik.

Downloads are available: http://mono-project.com/Downloads Rpms in the suse build service will soon be updated. ( http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Mono/ ) Major highlights: * Mono 1.2.6 can now be used as an SDK for creating Silverlight 1.1 applications on all platforms. This allows developers to create applications that target Silverlight without requiring a Windows installation. * Native Windows.Forms driver for MacOS X allows Winforms-based applications to run without an X server. * Support for the ASP.NET AJAX APIs and controls. * Support for FastCGI deployments: ASP.NET can now be deployed on a multitude of servers that implement the FastCGI protocol (lighttpd for example) in addition to Apache. * Windows.Forms now supports the WebControl on Windows and Linux using Mozilla. * Runtime will now consume much less memory for 2.0-based applications due to various optimizations in generics support as well as including many new performance improvements and an updated verifier and an implementation of CoreCLR security. * C# compiler is quickly approaching full 3.0 support, most of the basics work right now (except support for System.Query.Expression AST generation). Full release notes can be found here: http://go-mono.com/archive/1.2.6/ Thanks to all of our users and contributors. Enjoy!

This release fixes the problem of building beagle using mono 1.2.6 and another problem of building beagle with Avahi support. We have also started using Hal to get information about battery and AC status; thus NDesk-DBus is now a dependency of Beagle.

Earlier we monitored a fixed set of files in the /proc filesystem. Now we require NDesk-DBus. * Fix building with mono 1.2.6 [bgo #503639]. * Add a couple of Avahi specific missing files. * Fix several bugs in handling exclude directories and patterns in the Filesystem backend. * Fix a crash in the Nautilus backend when it tries to index temporary files [bgo #504192]. * Fix monodoc and manpages filter. Add support for gzip and bzip2 compressed manpages. * Fix a bug in beagle-build-index where new files would not be indexed. * Fix --enable-deletion in beagle-build-index. Set --enable-deletion for system-wide indexes. * New Empathy backend. * Store file size for files from the filesystem, in archives and in email attachments. * Show a larger snippet in the tooltip in beagle-search. * Allow users to bookmark webinterface searches. * Also display the time of recently modified results in the webinterface. * Add --write-xml and --read-xml options to beagle-config to enable non-C# programs to read and set config options. * Show documentation results in beagle-search when started with --search-docs option. * Add system-wide crawl rules for manpages and monodoc files. Keep them disabled by default. * Show the system-wide indexes in the backend chooser of beagle-settings. * Translations: - Swedish (Daniel Nylander) - Spanish (Jorge Gonzalez) - Brazilian Portuguese (Igor Pires Soares, Leonardo Ferreira Fontenelle) - Arabic (Khaled Hosny) Contributors to this release: Debajyoti Bera, Lukas Lipka, Kevin Kubasik and Anders Rune Jensen.
