Apr 22, 2011. Sphinx 2.0.1-beta

When it rains, it pours… Do expect a full-blown news entry with the new features overview and other nitty gritty details a little while later (when we add more binary packages, and figure out how to mention both the book and the new release), but a new version of Sphinx, tagged 2.0.1-beta, is just out, you can grab it now. If you’re running any of the previous ones, I strongly recommend to check this one out. For the purpose of reporting bugs and getting 2.0.2-release in a month, if nothing else. Oh, and the book actually documents 2.0.1-beta too. How’s that for a combo?

    And I was just wondering when 1.10 final will come.

    @christof, consider 2.0.1 the next step along the line :) as always, we will need user feedback to tag it release, but it should be somewhat more stable already, not to mention new features.

    Are prefix/infix already supported by real time indexes ?
    What about MVAs for real time indexes ?

    @pawel, both features (MVA, substring searching) are on the development plan. We don’t get many requests for those so they’re not top priority.

    Here comes one more request. :-) I’ve been waiting a very long time for this feature. (MVA, substring searching)

    Will range queries be supported with 2.0?

  8. shodan says:

    @justin, range queries are already supported and for quite a while now, SetFilterRange() call is in place since 0.9.7, I think. Or did you have something else in mind?

    Very nice, keep it up! One request for enable_star feature for rt indexes… which seems to be not implemented. No autocompleters without this :(

  10. Ron says:

    Another request for substring searching in rt indexes :)

    Great release !

    And for the next version : enable operator like ‘=’, ” with float attributes :)

    We’re waiting/or have some ideas where we’d like to use these features.

    * Are prefix/infix already supported by real time indexes ?
    * What about MVAs for real time indexes ?

    I think others would too, if they can get in the next release.

    We need MVA and enable_star for realtime indexes too.

    great news … still running 0.9.9, though … :)

    Great Job on string attributes !!! Do you think it would be possible soon to be able to manage MVA using strings instead of integers ?
    We do really need it to get rid of an heavy lookup process to match integers to string values… Should I post a feature request somewhere ?

  16. shodan says:
    May 4, 2011 at 15:15

    @jerome, I did not quite understand the request, but generally if you need some feature done quick, we can discuss sponsored NRE.

  17. Jerome says:
    May 4, 2011 at 15:21

    @shodan : mva is an integers comma separated value. We would like to have a string separated value. What do you call NRE (I may be interested… if it’s what I think…)

  18. shodan says:
    May 4, 2011 at 15:25

    @jerome, Non-Recurring Engineering. Basically, you can sponsor the development a feature that you need, we would priority develop it and include it into the next release.

  19. Jerome says:

    @shodan
    OK I got it… What about string MVAs ? doable ?

  20. shodan says:
    May 4, 2011 at 15:46

    @jerome, perhaps. Contact us and we can discuss tech details on email.

    Lack of MVA support in real-time indexes is what holds me from migration. My site used faceted browsing implemented using MVA. +1 for MVA

    Great software. The updates in 2.0.1 carry a lot of potential. Has anybody else noted this bug?
