STATUS of ht://Dig branch 3-2-x CHECKLIST FOR 3.2.0b5: * Apply memory leak patches (Neal) * Check bugs listed in bug-tracker... * Polish release docs (Geoff) * Must be able to (a) make check and (b) index www.htdig.org using "robotstxt_name: master-htdig" on all systems listed as "supported". Systems tested so far: - Mandrake 8.2, gcc 3.2 (lha, 21 May) - FreeBSD 4.6, gcc 2.95.3 (lha, 23 May) - Debian, Linux kernel 2.2.19, gcc 2.95.4 (lha, 23 May) - SunOS 5.8 = Solaris 2.8, gcc 3.1 (lha, 25 May) - SunOS 5.8 = Solaris 2.8, Sun cc with g++ 3.1 (lha, 29 May) - OS X (Jim, 30 May) Partly tested: - RedHat 8 (Jim, 1 June. make check requires tweaking for apache) - SunOS 5.8 = Solaris 2.8, gcc 2.95.2 (lha. Makes check minus apache, Digs small htdig.org. 27 May) - SunOS 5.8 = Solaris 2.8, Sun cc with g++ 2.95.2 (lha. Makes check minus apache, Digs small htdig.org. 2 June) - RedHat 7.3 (lha. Makes check minus apache. Digs small htdig.org. 25 May) - Alpha Debian (lha. Makes check minus apache. Digs small htdig.org. 25 May) To be tested: - HP-UX 10.20, gcc 2.8.1 (Jesse) - RedHat, other versions anyone? - RedHat AdvanceServer Itanium II (David Bannon) Known to have problems: - SGI/Irix 6.5.3 using SGI compilers <http://www.geocrawler.com/mail/msg.php3?msg_id=8025827&list=8825> RELEASES: 3.2.0b5: Next release, July 2003 3.2.0b4: "In progress" -- snapshots called "3.2.0b4" until prerelease. 3.2.0b3: Released: 22 Feb 2001. 3.2.0b2: Released: 11 Apr 2000. 3.2.0b1: Released: 4 Feb 2000. (Please note that everything added here should have a tracker PR# so we can be sure they're fixed. Geoff is currently trying to add PR#s for what's currently here.) SHOWSTOPPERS: * Mifluz database errors are a severe problem (PR#428295) -- Does Neal's new zlib patch solve this for now? KNOWN BUGS: * Odd behavior with $(MODIFIED) and scores not working with wordlist_compress set but work fine without wordlist_compress. (the date is definitely stored correctly, even with compression on so this must be some sort of weird htsearch bug) PR#618737. * META descriptions are somehow added to the database as FLAG_TITLE, not FLAG_DESCRIPTION. (PR#618738) Can anyone reproduce this? I can't! -- Lachlan Me either. Let's remove the PR. -Geoff PENDING PATCHES (available but need work): * Additional support for Win32. (Neal) * Memory improvements to htmerge. (Backed out b/c htword API changed.) * Mifluz merge. NEEDED FEATURES: * Quim's new htsearch/qtest query parser framework. * File/Database locking. PR#405764. TESTING: * httools programs: (htload a test file, check a few characteristics, htdump and compare) * Tests for new config file parser * Duplicate document detection while indexing * Major revisions to ExternalParser.cc, including fork/exec instead of popen, argument handling for parser/converter, allowing binary output from an external converter. * ExternalTransport needs testing of changes similar to ExternalParser. DOCUMENTATION: * List of supported platforms/compilers is ancient. (PR#405279) * Document all of htsearch's mappings of input parameters to config attributes to template variables. (Relates to PR#405278.) Should we make sure these config attributes are all documented in defaults.cc, even if they're only set by input parameters and never in the config file? * Split attrs.html into categories for faster loading. * Turn defaults.cc into an XML file for generating documentation and defaults.cc. * require.html is not updated to list new features and disk space requirements of 3.2.x (e.g. regex matching, database compression.) PRs# 405280 #405281. * TODO.html has not been updated for current TODO list and completions. I've tried. Someone "official" please check and remove this -- Lachlan * Htfuzzy could use more documentation on what each fuzzy algorithm does. PR#405714. * Document the list of all installed files and default locations. PR#405715. OTHER ISSUES: * Can htsearch actually search while an index is being created? * The code needs a security audit, esp. htsearch. PR#405765. |
