Thread: snowball release

Snowball has made a release!  With a tag!

I have prepared a patch to update PostgreSQL's copy.  (not attached 
here, 566230 bytes, but see 
https://github.com/petere/postgresql/commit/52a6133b58c77ada4210a96e5155cbe4da5e5583)

Since we last updated our copy from their commit date 2019-06-24 and the 
release is from 2019-10-02, the changes are pretty small and mostly 
reformatting.  But there are three new stemmers: Basque, Catalan, Hindi.

I think some consideration could be given for including this into PG13. 
Otherwise, I'll park it for PG14.

Yeah, this was on my to-do list as well.  Thanks for doing it.

Meh, I think v14 at this point.  It looks more like new features
than bug fixes.

Hm, I don't see any documentation change in that commit --- don't
we have (at least) a list of the stemmers somewhere in the SGML docs?

IIRC we refer to the Snowball site, and only have a list in the \dFd output,
but that can be argued to be an example and not expected to be updated to
match.  Perhaps we should though?

Looking in the commit logs, our past updates 7b925e127 and
fd582317e just updated that \dFd sample.  So I guess that's the
minimum expectation.  Maybe we should think about having a more
formal list in the actual Snowball section (12.6.6)?
