## 2022-07-29 - v0.5
|
|
|
|
|
This release features multiple fixes and enhancements.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It changes the database to drop an unused content column. Dropping it allows us
|
|
|
|
|
to change to a contentless sqlite FTS index which frees up space.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Upgrading might take a few seconds to a few minutes as looqs will recreate the whole index.
|
|
|
|
|
How long this will take depends on the size of your database.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The other major highlight is preview support for .odt files (unformatted, like plaintext).
|
|
|
|
