The release has the following improvements:

• search: Supported groupBy with multiple partitions.

• catalog: Added version to improve backward compatibility.
• Changed the name of adapter plugin that provides Groonga’s select compatible API to groonga from select. The groonga adapter will provide more Groonga compatible commands.

• Changed plugin path format:

  Old:

  droonga/plugin/#{PLUGIN_TYPE}_#{PLUGIN_NAME}.rb
  

  New:

  droonga/plugin/#{PLUGIN_TYPE}/#{PLUGIN_NAME}.rb
  

  We use a directory per plugin type instead of putting all plugins to droonga/plugin/ directory. Because it is more maintainable.
