Changes

Here are changes since 1.0.9:

  • [Windows] Upgraded bundled Groonga to 6.0.8.
  • Improved the number of hits estimation. It helps that planner choose suitable index use or not index use. Therefore, total performance is improved.
  • Added pgroonga.match_positions_character function that returns match positions in character.
  • Added pgroonga.flush function that flushes buffered changes in memory.
  • Fixed a bug that needless recheck is ran on bitmap heap scan. If recheck is ran, performance is down.
