Hi,

with kind permission from Simon Wilkinson, I am pleased to announce
Harvest-1.6.1.

Harvest is a system to collect information and make them searchable using a
user friendly web interface. Harvest can collect information on inter- and
intranet using http, ftp, nntp as well as local files like data on harddisk,
CDROM and files on file servers. Designed to manage information in wide
varity of formats, Harvest's development reflects the increasing importance
of HTML without omitting support for other formats. Current list of
supported formats in addition to HTML include dvi, ps, fulltext, mail, man
pages, news, troff, WordPerfect, C sources and many more. Adding support for
new format is easy due to Harvest's modular design.

Harvest's default fulltext indexer Glimpse supports boolean and structured
queries, approximate matches and regular expressions.
Support for Swish is also included in Harvest.

While small installation of Harvest profit from modest memory footprint and
efficient summarizers, big installations can set up a distributed system
to gain scalability. A set of computers can gather and summarize data while
a broker collects the data preprocessed by many gatherers to answer queries.
