sphinx 1.10 beta

[litchfield]

hey david- any word on using this with the new sphinx beta?

[dcramer]

I actually don't actively use Sphinx (at least not newer versions) right now. So it's unlikely I'll update this until I have a reason to.

I would also welcome a 1.10-compatible version very much.

I'm running on 1.1- from memory it was just the version const defined in sphinxapi.py that needed a bump. I'll fork it soon and let you know

I added 1.10-beta compatibility in my branch: https://github.com/factorAG/django-sphinx

As far as I can see, it seems to work. I did the upgrade mainly to support the new SPH_RANK_SPH04 ranking algorithm, which works a lot better than SPH_RANK_PROXIMITY_BM25. I don't know whether other new features of 1.10-beta work or not.

To enable it, put SPHINX_API_VERSION = 0x117 in your settings.py.
