Если проранжировать программные воплощения относительно свежих идей для GNOME, Beagle, без всякого сомнения, займёт в табеле одну из позиций у самой вершины. Пользователи уже привыкли к постоянному улучшению, и в этот раз предлагается оценить новый интерфейс к Thunderbird, улучшенное обращение с файлами OpenOffice.org, бережное обращение с аппаратными ресурсами (можно сделать особое указание Beagle на отслеживание степени заряда аккумулятора), улучшена система вывода ошибок, добавлена поддержка файлов Matroska и OGM, в параметрах поиска музыки добавлен "жанр", а для файлов JPEG - "модель камеры". Общий список изменений, улучшений и исправлений внушителен.

Version 0.3.7
24 April 2008

* Work around a mono feature/bug [1] where mono might hang trying to get a gdb
backtrace in the event of a native library segmentation fault. This is
specially important for the evolution-sharp bug [2] due to which beagled might
crash when the EvolutionDataServer backend is enabled. For some users, the
crash resulted in a non-functional but hanged beagled that in turn hanged
programs trying to contact beagled like gtkfilechooser.

Dependencies:

* Update local copy of SemWeb and include it under GPLv3 instead of CC-by-2.0.

* Update beagle-settings-qt requirements: look for either qyoto.pc or qt-dotnet.dll

* Remove internal taglib-sharp. We now require that taglib-sharp be installed.

* Remove the build dependency of sqlite3-devel,

* Fix our D-Bus requirements. System D-Bus is an optional requirement for beagled.
Session D-Bus is a necessary requirement for "beagle-search --icon". Distributions
should make beagle-search depend on something that starts session D-Bus at login
(e.g. KDE3 does not automatically start D-Bus at login).

* Explicitly use -lX11 to build libbeagleuiglue.so. Fixes #540120.

* Require gtk+/# >= 2.10.

* Remove the build dependencies of libgnome-2.0-dev and libgnomevfs-dev.

Features:

* Add a SemWeb based adapter for querying beagle using RDF.
Strictly experimental and enabled only with --enable-rdf-adapter.
(http://beagle-project.org/RDF)

* Add the GMail backend related options to beagle-settings-qt.

* Add a BibTex filter based on the command line program 'bibparse'.
bibparse is a run-time requirement and can be found in the btparse package.

* Add infrastructure and command-line tools to create and manage
static indexes for removable sources.
(http://beagle-project...ovable_Medium)

* Add a crawl-rule for indexing executables in /usr/bin, /bin etc.
Add beagle-crawl-system [--list] [crawl-] options to list the system
indexes and selectively update only one system index.

* Add support for snippets for remote beagled query.

* Add support for KDE4 konqueror history.

* Show a drop-down list in beagle-search to choose search categories.
This was previously hidden in the menus. Use BEAGLE_SEARCH_SCOPE
environment variable to allow users to create custom categories.

* Add menu options to beagle-search to start and stop beagled and
show index statistics.

* Enable the Open-With context-menu in beagle-search results.

* Include a python script to grab shortcut keys from beagle-settings
(distributed under GPL3).

Bugfixes:

* Focus the search entry is there are no results initially. Fixes #529540.

* Fix a regression where searching applications and other system wide indexes
were disabled by default in beagle-search.

* Update Evolution backend for the new Evolution-Sharp API. Fixes #526685.

* Use the correct protocol for evolution-tasks "task:///...". Fixes #530624.

* Handle corrupt config files. Fixes #532308.

* Fix parsing of Opera history cache. Fixes #533529.

* If the firefox extension does not find ~/.beagle, show the message in the
icon tooltip instead of showing the disruptive alert. Fixes debian #463922, bnc #385513.

* Handle rogue backends if they start throwing lots of errors. This will
save the log files from getting flooded with unnecessary exceptions.

* Fix the spreadsheet filter which was broken since 2007!

* Correctly generate URIs for child-indexables (e.g. archive contents,
docbook entries). Fixes #535020.

* Fix the docbook filter to not return unnecessary matches when only
one docbook section matches the query.

* Show an error dialog if beagle-settings encounters an unhandled exception.
This gives a better feedback to the user. Fixes #541134.

* Always show the filename separately in the beagle-search results. Show the
filename instead of document title for pdf, odt etc. files whose titles are mostly
unset or auto-generated.

* Do not index java script: pages in the firefox extension.

* Properly parse Pidgin log files with smilies; these lines used to throw
an exception earlier.

* Support KMail-3 in KDE4. Fixes #540153.

* The FileSystem backend now correctly handles filenames in a
non-utf8 locale if MONO_EXTERNAL_ENCODINGS is set to the platform encoding.
Fixes #440458.

* Fix a bug where beagled sometimes returns less than 100 (max-results) results even
though more results are available.
