Pinot 0.98

I have just released v0.98, which is going to be the last release hosted on BerliOS.
As of today, Pinot is moving to Google Code at http://code.google.com/p/pinot-search. Please update your bookmarks.

It features two new filters, one for CHM files and another for images that hold Exif, IPTC or XMP metadata. It also supports libexttextcat v3.1, the LibreOffice fork of libtextcat.
Special thanks to Martijn Verstrate and others who helped with translations.

Details can be found in the NEWS file. The source is here.

Pinot 0.98 is coming

I am planning to release Pinot 0.98 this month. It will have the following features:
- a new filter for CHM files that relies on chmlib.
- a new exiv2-based filter to replace the current libexif filter
- support for libexttextcat, the libtextcat 3.0 fork from LibreOffice.

I found out recently that BerliOS will be closing down at the end of the year; 0.98 will therefore be the last release before I move the whole project somewhere else, probably Google Code.

Pinot 0.97

After a long break, I am releasing a new version that brings improvements to crawling, memory management and the indexing of acronyms. Several bugs were fixed and translations were massively updated.
I would like to thank all translators involved, and especially Nikolay Kachanov for his feedback. Спасибо большое !

As usual, the NEWS file has the full details and the source can be downloaded here.

Finally, it's come to my attention that Pinot is featured in the Desktop Search section of Datamation's Ultimate List of Open Source Software ! Another good reason to celebrate this New Year ;-)
