Hi,

I am pleased to announce Harvest-1.9.3.
This ia a development version.


What's new:

        * Swedish user interface. (Anders Wandahl)


This release adds swedish user interface contributed by Anders
Wahndal. So, currently we have support for English, German, Italian,
Russian, Spanish and Swedish. Work is under way to add translation for
Korean and Latin (sic!). It would be nice if we could get other
translations as well, especially French would be very nice.

The configuration of the idzebra server and modeling data isn't
finished yet. It will take some time until I have enough insight in
yaz and idzebra to achieve best results. This is on top of my todo
list.

The integration of yaz/idzebra into Harvest is partially done. It
already is usable, but there will be some tweaks necessary until we
have the same level of integration like glimpse and swish.

For instructions to use idzebra as fulltext indexer, see:

  http://harvest.sourceforge.net/wip/INSTALL-1.9.txt

Hopefully this extra instructions won't be necessary when yaz/idzebra
is fully integrated into Harvest.

Despite all the points listed above, Harvest already can be used with
idzebra as fulltext engine and the performance boost is quite
impressive. On my test machine, all queries are answered within three
seconds, and most queries just take a second or two instead of ranging
from some seconds to some tens of seconds.

As always, I appreciate _any_ feedback.

I would like to invite everybody interested in developing, using or
simply keeping an eye on the future development of Harvest, to join
the mailinglist.
