NOTE: Especially, I would very much like information about system

little I can do about it. I know that it runs on Windows 7 32 bits, and

installer crashes on Windows 7 64 bits, but I would really like more data

NOTE: About the installer: this needs administrator rights, in order to
install to `C:\Program Files`. If you want to install on a machine where
you have no administrator rights, you can use the

same (you will need the free http://www.7-zip.org/[7z] to extract it). If
you are in this case, you can ignore the setup-related steps of the
procedure of course.

== Change Log
Changes in 20160414
- The setup script has changed back to needing administrator rights,
because this is what is convenient for most people. Use the installation
directory archive to install in a non-standard location without admin
rights.
- Fixed a bug which had the whole indexing stop if a script would time out
on a specific file (it will very rarely happen that a pathologically bad
file can throw an input handler in a loop).

<h2>Changes in Recoll 1.21.0</h2>
<ul>
<li>Allow saving queries to files and reloading them
later. Available both for simple and advanced queries, and
based on XML files.</li>
<li>A Bison-based query parser replaces the old regexp-based
one and allows parenthized sub-expressions and easier future
expansions.</li>
<li>The GUI gets a "close to system tray" function.</li>
<li>Avoid retrying to index previously indexed files if
nothing seems to have changed in the filters.</li>
<li>Improve indexing speed by always using vfork() for
spawning external commands.</li>
<li>The pdf filter gains the capability to run OCR (tesseract) on
image-only files. This happens automatically on image-only
pdfs if tesseract is available.</li>
<li>Improved checks about when we should try to uncompress
stuff. Will eliminate some of the most dreadful cases of
recollindex having an impact on system performance.</li>
<li>Warn if non-existent paths are listed in the configuration
file (help with typos).</li>
<li>Adjust background color for webkit-based elements (result
list and snippets window) according to desktop setup.</li>
<li>Listing the results with the KIO slave is now
performed with incremental updates. Bumped max entries to
10000.</li>

- synonyms
- python3 compat for most filters. Appropriate shebang lines.
- Windows port
- New build system
- Filters converted to python mexec -> faster in most cases.
- Make dehyphenate (co-worker->coworker) optional
<li>The main "feature" in recoll 1.22 is that it has
a <a href="pages/recoll-windows.html">Microsoft Windows
version</a>. This is has been tested on Windows 7 and
Windows 10, and it works mostly like the Unix version, with
the notable exceptions that it has no real-time mode (need to
start indexing by hand from the GUI, or arrange something with
the command-line recollindex.exe). Also there are a few very
Unix-y file types which are not processed on Windows, and the
indexer is single-threaded.</li>
<li>Synonyms: users can define term synonyms groups in
ordinary text files. They are used only at query times to
expand a query to synonym terms.
<a href="http://www.lesbonscomptes.com/recoll/usermanual/webhelp/docs/RCL.SEARCH.SYNONYMS.html">
More details</a>.</li>
<li>Most input handlers are now compatible with
Python3. Actually the only ones which are not are kept back by
the library they use. Also most external handlers are now
persistent, and quite a few shell-script have been converted
to Python for use on Windows.</li>
<li>The build system has been converted to use the autotools in
a fairly standard way. The Windows build is based on Qt
Creator and MinGW.</li>
<li>Make dehyphenation (co-worker->coworker in addition to the
normal terms) optional, active by default.</li>
<li>For people using the Firefox web page indexer add-on: a
new tool in the GUI to list and delete entries from the Web
cache.</li>
<li>Improved index statistics in the GUI, and improved display
while the indexer is working.</li>
