Hi,

I am pleased to announce the current development version Harvest-1.7.7.

What's new:

- Gatherer doesn't gunzip All-Templates for gathering. This saves some
  cpu cycles and much space in $TMPDIR.
- Default enumeration method is breadth first. When not gathering
  everything from a site but limit the number of URLs, this should
  give a more accurate overview of the site.
- Broker now uses 256 directories to store SOIF objects. (1)
- Memory usage for glimpseindex is not compiled in, but made
  configurable in broker.conf. (2)


Notes for upgrading from earlier versions of Harvest:

(1) If you start this version with data from earlier versions of
    Harvest, the Broker will create the additional directories but
    will complain about errors in the registry. To fix this problem,
    stop the broker, do "make realclean" in
    $HARVEST_HOME/brokers/YOUR_BROKER directory and restart the broker.

(2) Edit your old $HARVEST_HOME/brokers/admin/broker.conf and change
    the line "GlimpseIndex-Flags -n" to "GlimpseIndex-Flags -n -M 50"
    or whatever amount of memory you are willing to give to glimpseindex.
    With "-M 50", glimpseindex will use 50MB plus some MB of RAM.
