Qt 5.9 LTS: Lucene has gone?

agarny

Hi,

I have just upgraded my project to Qt 5.9 LTS and besides some (frustrating) GUI glitches (on macOS at least), I noticed that Lucene is not shipped with Qt anymore? I don't use it as such, but my application used to need it for deployment. So, just out of curiosity, what has happened to Lucene and when has it been removed from Qt? (FWIW, I upgraded from Qt 5.6.2 LTS.)

Cheers, Alan.

I am glad I haven't updated yet, thanks for pointing this out, would wait until Qt5.9.x release. I am happy to hear Qt team add some many new features into Qt, but I prefer stability more than quantity.

Hi,

~~From a quick look, it has been replaced with pcre2.~~

Completely unrelated, I've mixed things...

Thanks @SGaist. May I ask where you saw this (I googled for Qt Lucene and couldn't find anything relevant) and from which version of Qt it got replaced?

SGaist

Sure you may :)

~~I greped through the dist folder in qtbase's sources for pcre and there were two entries in the 5.9.0 release: the removal of pcre and the addition of pcre2.~~

I re-greped through all of the sources for lucene.

Phew! :)

I greped through the dist folder in qtbase's sources for pcre and there were two entries in the 5.9.0 release: the removal of pcre and the addition of pcre2.

Ok, got it now. I must confess that I didn't know about the purpose of Lucene, hence I didn't initially see the link between Lucene and pcre2, but now it makes sense to me. Thanks, I learned something today. :)

Wait wait wait... I just realised that my brain got haywire, they are not related to each other. Sorry !

Anyway: Removed the clucene dependency, used FTS5 from sqlite instead.

From the 5.9.0 change file in the qttools sources.

Ok, I thought that since Lucene is a text search engine, then there might be some overlap with pcre2.

Anyway, I can now see it (here indeed).

Good :)
