Just found out about this.

Uploaded first pass at both implementations this last week. The announcement to the Swish-e list just went out.

After 4 years of learning how to glue Perl and C together with XS and many sleepless nights, I have released SWISH::3 to the CPAN.

<cue the sound of scattered applause>

Mostly this is a triumph of longevity rather than quality code. It’s taken me this long to get something workable.

The Xapian backend for Swish3 has been getting some love lately. The swish_xapian command line tool has most of the features now that swish-e v2.x does.

I’ve posted about it on the Swish-e wiki.

I’d been keeping an email with a link to Ovid’s journal article about reviewing Perl Training websites. Now I’ve deleted the email. But the link was worth keeping here.
