  • added @groupby/@count/@distinct columns support to SELECT (but not to expressions)
  • added query-time keyword expansion support (expand_keywords directive, SPH_RANK_SPH04 ranker)

  • added SINT() function to expressions
  • improved SphinxQL syntax error reporting
  • improved expression optimizer (better constant handling)
  • improved dash handling within keywords (no longer treated as an operator)
  • improved snippets (better passage selection/trimming, around option now a hard limit)
  • optimized index format that yields ~20-30% smaller indexes
  • optimized sorting code (indexing time 1-5% faster on average; 100x faster in worst case)
  • optimized searchd startup time (moved .spa preindexing to indexer), added a progress bar
  • optimized queries against indexes with many attributes (eliminated redundant copying)
  • optimized 1-keyword queries (performace regression introduced in 0.9.9)
  • optimized SphinxQL protocol overheads, and performance on bigger result sets
