We’re happy to announce that Sphinx 2.0.8, the generally recommended release, is now available.
In case you are wondering, to us, “generally recommended release” means that all features are stable and complete. We know that some of you are already making use of the shiny new features included in the beta release, but we would like to tell the rest of you about Sphinx 2.0.8. This release includes all the latest bug fixes, real-time index support, string attributes, optimized index format, and many other features you’ve come to love.
Here’s a quick overview of some of the more important bugs you will find fixed in 2.0.8:
Issue 1514: A RT index created with ATTACH was loosing attribute updates after a clean daemon restart.
Issue 1511: An indexing crash when trying to index multi-value attributes from a PostgreSQL data source .
Issue 1405: A parsing error on interpreting mixed operand types in a BETWEEN filtering. More precisely, if the left operand in BETWEEN was an integer, the parser was expecting the right operand to be an integer as well, even if the attribute filtered was a float.
Issue 1481: shebang configs, which load external files, are now reloaded by a rotation even if the timestamp of the config is not changed.
Ubuntu users: install our official Launchpad’s repository to get the latest release every week (temporarily only 12.04 LTS packages are available) :

Just a note: 2.0.8 docs, although they don’t bring anything new ( except some small fixed typos and changelog for 2.0.8), will be up shorty.
