We're pleased to announce that SphinxConnector.NET 4.3 is available for download and via NuGet!
In this release we've added a new BulkCopy class which efficiently copies data from an IDataReader to an index. We've also added support for the REMAP() function to the fluent API.
For a full list of changes, please refer to the version history.
We're pleased to announce that SphinxConnector.NET 4.2 is available for download and via NuGet!
This release contains some compatibility fixes for Manticore 3 and adds support for Manticore's REGEX() and CONCAT() functions. If you are using JSON attributes in conjunction with the fluent API you might want to checkout two new methods we've added to the JsonObjectSerializer. You can use these methods to access the raw bytes or chars returned from searchd and pass them directly to your JSON serializer if supported. This avoids the creation of intermediate strings which can be a huge saving. If you're looking for alternatives to JSON.NET, which is used by default by SphinxConnector.NET: we recently did a comparison of JSON serializers which can be found here.

We're pleased to announce that SphinxConnector.NET 4.1 is available for download and via NuGet!
For this release we’ve continued our work on improving performance and reducing memory usage. With the release of .NET Core 2.1 and the introduction of Span and related types, we were able to further improve the work done in 4.0. For example, we are now able to read data from searchd for primitive types more efficiently, namely by reading and converting data directly from the array of bytes instead of creating a string first. We also optimized the process of building JSON path strings within the fluent API, which could be a big source for allocations.
For a full list of changes, please refer to the version history.
We’re pleased to announce that the next major release of SphinxConnector.NET is finally available for download and via NuGet!
In addition, Manticore Search is now fully supported without the need to change the mysql_version_string setting.
Please note that in order to use the .NET Standard 2.0 build, you’ll have to install SphinxConnector.NET via NuGet.
A new method named Metadata() has been added to IFulltextQuery which returns query metadata via an out parameter. Overloads of ToList(), First() etc. that previously returned query metadata that way have been removed.
JSON.NET is now an explicit dependency, previously it had been merged into the SphinxConnector.NET assembly.
We've also decided to not provide a special build for Mono anymore, as demand for this was virtually nonexistent.
For a full list of changes please refer to the version history.
We're pleased to announce that SphinxConnector.NET 3.12 is available for download and via NuGet!
The fluent API has gotten support for the new suggestion feature introduced in the current development branch of Sphinx, memory allocations during logging have been optimized and the SphinxHelper.EscapeString method now also escapes MAYBE.
Additionally, two bugs have been fixed. For details, please refer to the version history.
