This is to announce a stable release of idutils.
The idutils package contains tools to create and efficiently search
an index of "identifiers" from specified files:
http://www.gnu.org/software/idutils/
Since 4.5 there have been two bug fixes and some build and portability
improvements inherited via gnulib. See the NEWS below for a summary.
Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature[*]:
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/idutils/idutils-4.6.tar.xz
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/idutils/idutils-4.6.tar.xz.sig
Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth:
http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/idutils/idutils-4.6.tar.xz
[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this:
gpg --verify idutils-4.6.tar.xz.sig
If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:
gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 7FD9FCCB000BEEEE
and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.
This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
Autoconf 2.68.136-a1a00
Automake 1.11a
Gnulib v0.0-6862-g0eab6e2

Since 4.4 (beta) there have been build and portability improvements,
but little else. It's been almost four years since the preceding stable
release, idutils-4.2. Since *then* there have been interesting changes.
