Announcing Meilisearch v0.13.0  

=================================

Meilisearch v0.13.0 introduces a bunch of new features and changes. Bugs have  
been fixed and some behavior have changed for more consistency, here what's new in meilisearch:

Placeholder search
------------------

  
We've been asked for a placeholder search feature a lot, and it's landed in  
v0.13.0. It allows you to perform a search without specifying query strings,  
and get "placeholder" search results. The results are sorted according to the  
ranking rules you specified, and it supports faceting and filtering.

Post Route search
-----------------

  
A new route has been added to allow you to perform search with a `POST` route instead of `GET`. This will improve performance for searches that require token  
authentication, by allowing [preflight request](https://mdn.org.cn/en-US/docs/Glossary/Preflight_request) caching.  
  
This is now the recommended way to perform searches with Meilisearch.

New settings behavior
---------------------

  
We have made a couple of changes to the way settings work in order to make them easier to use and intuitive. `searchableAttributes` and `displayedAttributes` now default to all attributes (`*` ). This means that unless you specify otherwise, all attributes will be searchable by default. This removes the need for the `acceptNewField`, that no longer exists.

Sys-info route removal
----------------------

  
We decided not to support the sys-info route anymore, and remove it. This was motivated by the fact that there already are better tools to do this job, and it was not worth the time maintaining this part of the code.

Check that Meilisearch is launched with the correct database version
--------------------------------------------------------------------

  
We added a check to ensure that Meilisearch is launched with a database that's compatible with the engine version. Meilisearch will refuse to start unless versions match.

Bug fixes
---------

*   `facetDistribution` returning the values in lowercase, instead of the correct case.
*   Bug that caused Meilisearch to add documents with the same document id twice, if they were added in the same batch.
