principles:
- provide an easy tutorial-like "what should I do first" menu
- provide all elements which are subject to most first questions to YaCy
exibition people on top level: Resource limitation, Parser and Ranking
settings
I apologize to everyone who are used to the old style and need to find
the menu items (again) after this change. I hope that this will make the
interface more usable for new users who see a web indexer/crawler the
first time.
- an existing ranking servlet for solr was extended. It is now possible
to set boost values for fields, boost functions and boost queries.
- The ranking can have different instances, but currently only the first
one is used
- added an abstraction layer for fields which can be used for search and
those fields can be edited in the solr ranking configruation
- the ranking value from solr within the field score is used to combine
remote search requests, which all are created using the same locally
defined boost values
- reduced the number of fields which are used for search (makes it
faster)
- replaced some text fields by string fields (makes indexing faster)
- removed classes which had no use
- made a large number of experiments for a better ranking and created a
temporary setting which prefers hits inside titles
- adjusted also the RWI-based ranking computation to 'prefer title'
- made special cases like for portal search where no post-processing and
post-ranking is wanted: this keeps the original ranking order as done by
Solr
- fixed many bugs with old settings for ranking
index (new solr core webgraph) .. this is now off by default
- completely redesigned this servlet
- added description how to attach a remote solr
- adjusted naming of servlet and menues
- moved 'lazy initialization' attribut from IndexSchema to
IndexFederated (this is a general option) back again.
multiple solr cores instead of just one. Therefore it is now necessary
to distuingish between solr server connections (called an 'Instance')
and a connection to a single solr core. One Instance may now have
multiple connector classes assigned to it, each connecting to a single
core.
To support multiple cores it is also necessary to distinguish between
the connection configuration and the configuration of the index schema.
We will have multiple schema configurations in the future, each for
every solr core. This caused that the IndexFederated servlet had to be
split into two parts, the new Servlet for the Schema editor is now in
the IndexSchema Servlet.
IndexControlURLs where it appears more naturally. Because the RWI
administration is less important in the presence of Solr, the
IndexControlURL is now the default servlet when the Index Administration
button on the main menu is selected.
- many speed/performance hacks
- added solr charding and new charding web interface
- added option to switch off the yacy index when using solr
- added new fail-url categories which are used to make a distinction which fail-urls to be sent to solr
- refactoring/renaming of some method names to distinguish host/url hashes better
- a large number of bug/npe fixes

- added 'select all' feature in Tables_p
- enhanced ViewFile.html: has now an input field to load arbitrary resources from the web and analyze them (!!!)
- included the ViewFile servlet into the Index Administration menu
- show in ViewFile if ressource is in url-db and/or in Web cache
- bugfixes to BEncodedHeap and Tables management

- moved all index generation servlets to it's own main menu item, including proxy indexing
- removed external index import because this operation is not recommended any more. Joining an index can simply be done by moving the index files from one peer to the other peer; they will be merged automatically
- fix to prevent endless loops when disconnecting http sessions
- fix to prevent application of bad blacklist entries that can cause a 'Dangling meta character' exception

Future versions of YaCy will have different file structures than given here, because of the new index segment concept, where each peer may have several indexes (called segments) for each network definition. A copy from one peer to another will then create a new index segment.

to do this, the index administration interface was extended.
It is now possible to select parts of a index.
See properties shown in interface after a word search for details.

If you don't use the default skin, the style will be broken or at least not complete.
YaCy now has two css-files: base.css in htroot/env and the skin. In base.css the layout and black/white text-formating-rules are defined. Colors are only defined in the skin.
The skin is now very easy to read and to change. If you want to make more changes than the colors you see in the default-skin, feel free to use the full power of css, but you are warned: The code is still not ready and may change, but we try to avoid changes which affect anything in the default-style.
Translation will be broken too because the language-files contain HTML-Code which has changed.
