News entry Dec 15, 2006. Sphinx 0.9.7-RC2 released Sphinx 0.9.7 RC2 is now available in Downloads section. Major new features include: extended query mode with boolean, field limits, phrases, and proximity support (eg.: @title "hello world"~10 | @body example program); extended sorting mode (eg.: @weight DESC @id ASC); combined phrase+statistical ranking which takes words frequencies into account (currently in extended mode only), official Python API; contributed Perl and Ruby APIs. Most of those had already been tested in production by some early adopters - thanks for all the support guys! Also the SE has been updated to support MySQL 5.0.27 and 5.1.14 out of the box. Seems that it's a little unfair to call this RC2; but as long as documentation and MySQL SE are still not up-to-date (work on SE is in progress right now), something deep inside prevents me from dubbing it “release”. Am I reinventing Google Beta or something... Permalink // del.icio.us // digg // stumble Add comment Name and Comment are required; other fields are optional.
