Build 1026

Any news on the ETA for V6.0 build 1026? I understand it will include a file locking mechanism to prevent the problems we are having with uploading the temp index files. The last I heard was it would hopefully be available in a couple of weeks and that was back on 4/15.

Sorry for the delay. One of the original issues that prompted the need for such a mechanism was that we believed it was causing an elusive crash problem for a number of users. We have since found the real root cause of this crash and been working on a fix to address this in the next build.

Going back to your original thread, the details also indicate that you were experiencing crashes. It might be that a crashed instance of the CGI is holding open the .zdat files, preventing the next index from overwriting them. This might be the real problem rather than needing a locking mechanism to avoid searches being submitted at the same time.To verify this, try disabling Spelling Suggestions ("Configure"->"Search Page"->"Provide spelling suggestions ...", save this configuration change and re-index. See if you still experience this problem afterwards.The bug we found is a memory leakage issue within the spelling suggestions code. We will be fixing this for the next build, but in the meantime, disabling the feature should avoid the issue.

I'll give that a try. Thanks.
