Hi,

I am pleased to announce the current development version Harvest-1.7.28.


What's new:

* Changed default setting not to summarize nested types like
tar and zip archive.

Current implementation of essence lets the gdbm file grow too
much to be useful.

* Improved Pdf summarizer. (Harald Weinreich)

pdftotext from xpdf package creates huge text files for some
pdf files, making essence running out of memory. A workaround
for this problem has been added to pdf summarizer.

* Changed RTF summarizer to use rtf2html.

GNU unrtf creates "pictnnn.pict" files despite "--nopict"
flag.

* Cosmetic changes in result set presentation.

* Added summarizer for Microsoft Excel files and modified
summarizer for Microsoft Word to use catdoc. (Harald
Weinreich)

* Merged catdoc into Harvest distribution.
