The best advice is + <em>don't</em>. That is, it is highly recommended that you + install the 3.2 release in a separate directory tree and treat + everything as if you were installing it for the first + time. This is not just because this is a beta release. There + are several main reasons for this: + <ul> + <li>The htmerge program now <strong>only</strong> merges. You + do not need to run it after running htdig as before. The + "cleanup" duties have been moved to the <a + href="htpurge.html">htpurge</a> program that also deletes + URLs. The sample rundig script is modified accordingly.</li> + <li>The default directory structure of this release is + different from previous releases, more in line with other UNIX + programs.</li> + <li>The databases are all in different formats. This version + cannot read databases from previous versions since the new + formats have significantly more information and this cannot be + reconstructed from old databases. This goes for fuzzy + databases as well. Future versions can use the new <a + href="htdump.html">htdump</a> and <a + href="htload.html">htload</a> programs to dump and load + databases to/from text files. These will also allow databases + to be transfered between platforms. + </li> + </ul> + Text files, such as config files, result templates, etc. are + the same between releases, so you will probably wish to copy + these to your new installation.</li> + </p> + + <p> + Additionally, you may find things a bit rough at first. We + appreciate your comments and suggestions, especially in the + form of performance comparisons with the 3.1.x + releases. Additionally, there are several things planned for + the final 3.2.0 release that have not been implemented yet: + <ul> + <li>Proximity (near) searching.</li> + <li>Phrase searching method (in addition to and, or, and boolean).</li> + <li>Field-based searching--restricting to a header, title, etc.</li> + <li>Date-based searching--restricting to a range of dates.</li> + <li>Implementation of a more accurate scoring system.</li> + <li>Parallel indexing and searching.</li> + <li>Support for https: and ftp: access</li> + </ul> + Please send comments, patches, etc. to the <<a + href="mailto:htdig3-dev@htdig.org">htdig3-dev@htdig.org</a>> + mailing list. + + <hr size="4" noshade> + Last modified: $Date: 2004/05/28 13:15:19 $ + </body> +</html> |
