I've made what is likely to be the last ever release of Search::Xapian.
The main motivation is to make it give a clear error message if you try
to build with Xapian 2.x (which won't work because the deprecated
Xapian::ValueRangeProcessor and subclasses have been removed from
the C++ API) and to direct people to the newer Perl bindings in
xapian-bindings.
Like the previous release, this release should work with any Xapian 1.4.x
release (and also 1.2.x but that's been obsolete for some time now).
There were also a few changes which have been sitting in git for a while,
and a couple of minor things I noticed while preparing the release.
The full Changes entry for this release is:
1.2.25.6 Fri Apr 3 22:40:30 UTC 2026
[Changes contributed by Olly Betts]
- Trying to build with Xapian 2.x now fails at Makefile.PL time with
a clear error recommending the newer Perl bindings in
xapian-bindings.
- README: Improve wording regarding status of these bindings vs the
SWIG-generated ones.
- Makefile.PL: Update reference to git branch name (svn/1.2 has been
renamed to RELEASE/1.2).
- Fix typo which prevented wrapping DatabaseClosedError and
DatabaseNotFoundError even when using xapian-core >= 1.4.10.
[Changes contributed by Gregor Herrmann]
- `make clean` now removes the generate source handle_exception.cc
and the `testdb*` databases create by `make test`.
- t/symbol-test.t: Run `make realclean` on the SymbolTest module at
the end of the test to avoid leaving generated files behind.
