Type Release version Description

3 Bug fixes

Improves the indexer so that metadata that is associated with internally defined metadata classes are not stored in the index unless the metadata class is defined in metamap.cfg or xml.cfg. This is closer to previous versions of the indexer.

3 Bug fixes

Improves Push so that the log folder for the last failed commit and merge is not deleted through log rotation.

3 Bug fixes

Adds a feature to Push so that if push.create-snapshot-on-merge-failure is set to true, Push will create a snapshot of the Push collection if a merge fails for further investigation.

3 Bug fixes

Fixes an issue with click logs processing during indexing, where a invalid click log line can cause indexing to fail.

3 Bug fixes

Allows update-configs to update a single collection, rather than the entire server.

To use this new capability provide update.configs.pl with the directory for the collection (e.g. /opt/funnelback/conf/collection_name/) and the upgrade process will be run only on that directory.

Note that running this will not create an empty updates statistic database in admin/reports/collection_name which might be required when upgrading from some old versions.
