File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 1.2.3alpha

Notes:
This is mostly configuration enhancements release. It can be downloaded from here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=151499


Changes:
** Improvements
    * hosts screen: files count is now updated right after host crawl is finished
    * introduced 'encoding' config parameter for FTP crawl tasks
    * hosts screen: new column, 'encoding'; added UpgradeTo123Task auto-launced migration task (visit app.properties
      file to set encoding for pre-1.2.3 hosts)
    * allowed user queries to begin with wildcards ('*', '?' symbols)
    * secured access to Ajaxified admin functions
    * hosts screen: 'edit' function for 'encoding' column for FTP hosts (for 'admin' role users only). Uses
      configurable encodings list from WEB-INF/classes/encodings file. Copy it from expanded war file to config
      directory first if you want to change it. (see install.html for details on config dir)
    * improved URL interface: bare search.do now works as searchEntry.do. searchEntry.do is left working for some time
      for backward compatibility.
    * sharehound now requires web container supporting JSP 2.0. For Tomcat this means 5.5 and higher.
    * sharehound is distributed as compressed war now to ease future upgrades; extracted some config files,
      incl. quartz-config.xml and custom user accounts, to external config directory. See install.html for details.
    * lucene.properties' "index.directory" propery moved to new properties file, dir.properties; introduced some new dir
      properties there and made them all optional
    * made sharehound's data dir specified by JVM parameter passed to web cotainer (e.g. Tomcat). See install.html for
      details.

** Fixed bugs
    * fatal startup error if index.directory (specified in lucene.properties) doesn't exist
    * 'files' link from hosts list item doesn't work for some time when the host is indexed for a first time
    * Admin screen: 'calculate hosts files counts' function's results are invisible for some time (until somebody call hostIndexer.flush)    
    * some non-ASCII FTP directories are not indexed (appears empty in index while they are not actually)
