Bug Description
Binary package hint: beagle
The current beagle shipped with Feisty crashes... alot. Recently Beagle just broke the 100 bug mark. Upstream recently did a maintenance release to fix several of the major showstopper bugs. The most noteworthy changes are:
* Fixes to the image filter (extracting JFIF comments and IPTC data,
among others).
* Fix a potential deadlock on PDF files that cause pdftotext to spam
output to stderr.
* Fix the SVG filter to handle undeclared namespaces gracefully.
[bgo #404787]
* Handle JavaScript comments inside HTML files properly.
* Workaround certain archive files that cause SharpZipLib to loop
infinitely. [bgo #402280]
* Fix bugs caused by a change in behavior after switching to the .NET
2.0 profile, mostly date-related.
* Fix a problem where KMail folders were not being indexed. [bgo
#391647 and #401767, bnc #238161]
* Change our method of setting up limits on external extractor
processes, because running JITted code in a child process sometimes
causes runtime deadlocks. [bgo #402065]
* Fix a problem in our Sqlite schema where Beagle could loop crawling
directories that started with zeros.
This release introduces no new features, and fixes several serious bugs. This includes 4 fixes for beagle getting caught in a tight loop and hogging system resources. There are no extra dependencies introduced, and most code changes are 4-5 lines per file.
