Toba 0.8.2 released

I just released version 0.8.2 of Toba on the web site. There were a number of changes, but the biggest change was with JASE (Just A Search Engine). JASE is a plugin for Toba that lets you take a directory of text files or XML files and create a search engine, available from within Toba, to search through all the files. Since the search engine uses Lucene, you get the full set of sophisticated Lucene search syntax options.


There were a couple of bugs that got fixed and features added. First of all, the known engines setting that you edit in the options window was clobbering the list of known plugins. That's fixed. Also, the feature for creating an index now goes recursively through the directory of source files so it's easier to go through large data sets. That, along with a couple of other little features listed in the change log made the release useful


Both the generic and the Mac OS X release packages are available.


Enjoy!
