4.9 corrects various issues in the 4.8 distribution package, provides  
a new
FileClassEnvironment for WARC file input, various indexing speed
optimizations for indri; and more.

Applications compiled with the Lemur Toolkit require the following
libraries: z, iberty, pthread, and m on linux, and additionally socket
and nsl on solaris.  Applications built in Visual Studio require the
additional library wsock32.lib.  The java jar files were built with
Java 5 (jdk 1.5.0). The java UIs require Java 5. We have tested using  
GCC
3.2 (solaris), 3.2.2(linux), 3.4(linux), 3.4.3(linux x86_64),  
4.0.2(linux),
4.3.1 (OS/X), VC++ .NET 7.1(Windows XP), and Visual Studio 2005 (Windows
XP).

Enhancements:

The LayoutManager constraints have been modified to improve the resize
behavior of the components.

The Query Log Toolbar and server support the automatic uploading of log
files on a scheduled basis. This preference can be set by the user of  
the
toolbar to completely automatic, automatic with confirmation required
before upload, or manual upload only.

A new FileClassEnvironment, warc, has been added to indri. This  
environment
enables indexing of the ClueWeb09 corpus,

Indri indexing speed optimizations, providing 5-15% speedup for GOV2 (25
million documents) sized collections.
