CJKV indexing is faster. The spelling database is populated with CJKV terms too.

Stored queries can index all, or only new, results. In Preferences, patterns can be reset to default values. The Status window shows whether the daemon was stopped by, or disconnected from D-Bus.

A new plugin for UNdata is included.

Possible crashes in pinot-index, pinot-dbus-daemon and pinot were fixed, as well as an issue with signaling between crawler and indexer. Also applied fixes to build with gcc 4.3, and for inotify support on m68k, mips, mipsel and hppa.

New simplified Chinese translation by Ashlee Ma.
