- Introduces a new HTTP REST API,
http://seeks-project.info/wiki/index.php/API-0.4.0
Compatibility is ensured with earlier API.

results to a public Seeks node, so that they are made available to
others.

from XSL templates.

* Bodie-0.3.5-HIPPY-stable
This release brings improvements to the peer-to-peer search, fixes
a few bugs, and adds functionalities to Seeks.

features, turning Seeks into a generic meta-search engine.

monitoring for avoiding smart tracking of users (e.g. through the
'Last-Modified' header, ...).
- Fixes to the JSON output.
- Many bug fixes.
* DiAngelo-0.3.4-HIPPY-stable
First release with peer-to-peer activated as default. Every Seeks node
defines a list of Seeks peers to work with. This list defines a
ring of trusted peers. In future versions, the list will be updated
automatically, before a DHT takes over.
- Pure Seeks results: results now include data coming from the Seeks
network (other peers) and not exclusively from feeds and search
engines in the pipe.
- Default UI now includes peer information and recommendations.
- Implements three P2P call types over HTTP: per-key db access using Tokyo
Tyrant, query fragment key extraction from Seeks node directly, and
'batch' P2P query calls that fetch the whole halo of similar queries
from a distant Seeks node (default).
- Automatic detection and testing of dead peers. Dead peers are marked back as
alive when they are confirmed to operate correctly.
- libevent-2.x support is now default, see
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=20110701064850.GA1476%40hyperion.musicophages&forum_name=seeks-users
- new threaded and interleaved calls to feeds and remote Seeks peers.
- new threaded collaborative filter, with improved local filtering (local
user control on all results, including those coming from other peers,
avoids spam or preferences to be overriden).
- Many leaks and bug fixes.
- Added special flag to disable OpenCV, as the library seems partly broken
on Debian testing & sid. See:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=20110701091640.GA3016%40hyperion.musicophages&forum_name=seeks-users

profiles, in forthcoming version.
