[ANN] TextIndexNG 3.0.1 released
by Andreas Jung 21 May '05

21 May '05

I am pleased to announce the final release of TextIndexNG V 3.0.0. TextIndexNG V 3 is a complete new implementation based on Zope 3 technologies and can be used both in Zope 2.8 or 2.7 (with Five) or in Zope 3. What's new? - multi-field indexing and query support - multi-lingual support - configurable converters (through ZCML) - new indexing API (allowing you to hook your custom content types with TextIndexNG through Zope 3 adapters). Changes since V 3.0.0: - core query options are now available from _apply_index() - new query option 'similarity_ratio' - splitted configuration into Zope 2 and TextIndexNG3 core related configuration files - removed some Zope 2 dependencies from the "textindexng" package - incorporated some patches by Ivo van der Wijk to integrate TextIndexNG3 as index for Zope 3.1 (requires to uncomment some lines in src/textindexng/configure.zcml) - updated documentation on query syntax and query options (see doc/README.txt) - some more tests Requirements: - Zope 2.8 or Zope 2.7 (+ Five) or Zope 3 (Zope 3 has nothing like catalogs yet) TextIndexNG V3 will *not* run with bare Zope 2.7 installations without Five (and this will not be changed in the future). Download: http://sf.net/projects/textindexng For installation and documentation issues refer to doc/README.txt from the archive. It's basically the same procedure as with former versions except you *need* to recompile the extension modules. Windows binaries of the required extension modules are currently not available (any volunteers?). TextIndexNG V 3 is published under the GPL.

You can download a source tarball or Windows installer from: http://zope.org/Products/ZODB3.4 Note that there are two Windows installers, for Python 2.3 (2.3.5 is recommended) and Python 2.4 (2.4.1 is recommended). ZODB 3.4b1 contains many bugfixes and new features, including: - savepoint/rollback support, a powerful generalization of subtransactions allowing to revert to any savepoint'ed state within a transaction - auto-synchronization with storages after a transaction commit or abort, and at the explict start (transaction.begin()) of a transaction - a way to register callbacks invoked just before a transaction starts to commit -- see the new transaction.beforeCommitHook() - a new release of ZConfig See the news file for details: http://zope.org/Products/ZODB3.4/NEWS.html Note that ZODB 3.4 does not support any version of Zope 2.6 or 2.7. Current Zope 2.8 and Zope 3 development use ZODB 3.4. The ZODB 3.3 line is officially retired (3.3.1 final was the last release in the 3.3 line).
