Re: win32 11.1-rc2 ferret gem available?

Hello!

I just wanted to follow up on this previous post of mine, we’ve noticed
that there have been several updates to the gem. I have two quick
questions. Is there a new win32 gem (since v10.9) on its way – if so,
when? and 2. If we continue to develop with our v10.9 gem on our
windows XP laptops and then deploy to a unix environment that’ would be
using the latest gem (11.3+), should all of our syntax, etc work (I
understand that the indices would be built differently, but that’s
fine)?

Thanks again!
Dave

Thanks for the quick response, Dave. I appreciate it – it saved us
tons of time with some potential debugging/environment setups. I’ll let
anyone know if we run into any errors while testing the new win32 gem
upon its release as well.

Thanks!

Hello!

I am developing a rails

application in a test environment on Windows XP

and recently upgraded to InstantRails 1.5. During the upgrade process, I
went to install the latest ferret gem and realized that the latest gem
compiled for Windows was 10.9. We upgraded our production environment
(Ubuntu) to 11.1-rc2 successfully, but wanted to find out if we were going
to run into any problems conducting our testing with 10.9 and deploying into
the 11.1-rc2 production environment. If we were, is there anyone that has
compiled a win32 binary of the 11.1-rc2 gem?

Sorry, I didn’t really fully answer your question. There are no major
API changes between the two versions you are using so if your app is
working with 0.10.9 then it should work with 0.11.2. There are however
differences in the index file format so you can’t copy the index
across and 0.10.9 has a lot more bugs than 0.11.2. But for the
short
term you should be fine.

So far all my 0.10 code has worked with 0.11 fine.

from the announcement for 0.11.0:

“I’ve just released Ferret 0.11.0 which is the first release candidate
for Ferret 1.0. This release has no new features to the API but it
does fix some very major bugs.”

“Some of these fixes mean that the current version of Ferret is not
backwards compatible. If you install the latest version you will need
to rebuild your index from scratch.”
