| Release Notes -- Apache Jackrabbit -- Version 1.3.4 |
| |
| Introduction |
| ------------ |
| |
| Apache Jackrabbit is a fully conforming implementation of the Content |
| Repository for Java Technology API (JCR). A content repository is a |
| hierarchical content store with support for structured and unstructured |
| content, full text search, versioning, transactions, observation, and |
| more. Typical applications that use content repositories include content |
| management, document management, and records management systems. |
| |
| Apache Jackrabbit 1.3.4 is a patch release from the 1.3 maintenance branch. |
| This release is targeted to users who are not yet ready to upgrade to |
| the more recent Jackrabbit 1.4 release, but who still need some of the |
| more important recent fixes and improvements. See below for the full |
| list of changes since the 1.3.3 release. |
| |
| See the Apache Jackrabbit website at http://jackrabbit.apache.org/ for more |

| |
| Upgrading to Jackrabbit 1.3 |
| --------------------------- |
| |
| Apache Jackrabbit 1.3 is fully compatible with the previous 1.x releases. |
| A previous Apache Jackrabbit 1.x installation can be upgraded by replacing |
| the relevant jar files with the new versions. No changes to repository |
| contents are needed. |
| |
| This release replaces the previous jackrabbit-index-filters component with |
| an improved jackrabbit-text-extractors component. An existing Jackrabbit |
| installation can be upgraded to use the new text extraction components by |
| deploying the new jackrabbit-text-extractors jar file and updating the |
| relevant search index configuration. Jackrabbit still supports old index |
| filter configurations, but to use them you need to leave the old |
| jackrabbit-index-filters jar file in place. |
| |
| See below for a more detailed description of the structural changes in |
| the Apache Jackrabbit 1.2 release. |
| |
| Upgrading to Jackrabbit 1.2 |
| --------------------------- |
| |
| The most notable effect of the component restructuring in the 1.2 release |
| was that the previous jackrabbit-core component has been split in three |
| pieces: jackrabbit-api, jackrabbit-jcr-commons, and jackrabbit-core. Thus |
| you need to replace the previous jackrabbit-core-1.x.jar file with the |
| three new jar archives. |
| |
| The structure of the WebDAV components have also changed. WebDAV support |
| now consists of the webapp component jackrabbit-webapp and the libraries |
| jackrabbit-webdav and jackrabbit-jcr-server. |
| |
| The Apache Lucene dependency used for full text indexing has been upgraded |
| to version 2.0 in this release. Lucene 2.0 is able to continue using |
| existing index files, but you can also manually recreate the index with |
| Lucene 2.0 extensions by removing the "index" directories of a closed |
| repository. Jackrabbit will automatically re-index content when the |
| repository is next started. |
| |
| Also the Apache Derby dependency has been upgraded to version 10.2. |
| Like Lucene, the new Derby version can keep using existing database files. |
| New repositories and workspaces will however be created using extensions |
| and improvements introduced in the 10.2 version. |
