Changes:
The two major additions are a configuration GUI for the indexing parameters, and explicit support for indexing and searching texts written in Asian languages using logograms (CJK). There are also smaller additions, such as new filters for image and TeX formats, a KDE kicker applet, and miscellaneous bugfixes and improvements.
