[ANN] Ruby/Odeum 0.4.1 -- Bug Fix & Index Server

[Zed A. Shaw]

Hello,

This is just a quick bugfix release of Ruby/Odeum--a library for full
text index searching like Lucene. You can get the latest source release
and RubyGems packages at:

http://www.zedshaw.com/projects/ruby_odeum/
http://www.zedshaw.com/downloads/ruby_odeum/ruby_odeum-0.4.1.tar.bz2
http://www.zedshaw.com/downloads/ruby_odeum/ruby_odeum-0.4.1.gem

This release contains the following changes:

* The KirbyBase wrapper was missing from the last release.
* A simple IndexServer is included which you can use to either simplify
using ruby Odeum or expose as a remote service using DRb. Examples
included.
* Cleaned up the ResultSet API in order to simplify it.
* You can now use ResultSet#move to go forward and backward arbitrary
records in the ResultSet. This replaces rewind, etc.
* Removed ResultSet#next_n_docs as it was redundant and seemed to only
complicate the API.
* RubyDoc documentation is now properly updated on the site. It was
getting dropped for some reason.

Please give this release a try and let me know if there's any problems.
Thank you.

Also, I'd appreciate it if people would tell me how the google adwords
show up for them in their browser of choice (e-mail me not the list). I
know they already cause problems with IE. Opera? Others?

Thanks! Good work there.

By the way, is there a bug tracker or known issues list? I checked your
website but could not find it.

Nope, just my e-mail. I'm kind of a loner on stuff until I think it's
stable and clean enough for others to hack on it with me. At that point
I'll probably put it on something like rubyforge.
