ANNOUNCE: Beagle and Libbeagle 0.3.9

[D Bera <dbera web gmail com>]

Hi,
    Beagle and libbeagle 0.3.9 is now available. Besides lots of bug
fixes, this release fixes a major problem with mono-2 where temporary
files would not be deleted.

THE SHORT OF IT
---------------
Beagle is a Linux desktop-independent service which transparently and
unobtrusively indexes your data in real-time.

To download the 0.3.8 release or learn more about Beagle, visit
the Beagle web page:
 http://beagle-project.org

Beagle supports many different data sources and file formats.  For a
complete listing, visit:

Beagle includes an optional GNOME-based graphical tool and a browser
interface for searching its indexes.
