 Tantivy 0.9.0
 =====================
-*0.9.0 index format is not compatible with the 
-previous index format.*
-- MAJOR BUGFIX : 
-  Some `Mmap` objects were being leaked, and would never get released. (@fulmicoton)
 - Removed most unsafe (@fulmicoton)
 - Indexer memory footprint improved. (VInt comp, inlining the first block. (@fulmicoton)
 - Stemming in other language possible (@pentlander)
 - Segments with no docs are deleted earlier (@barrotsteindev)
-- Added grouped add and delete operations. 
-  They are guaranteed to happen together (i.e. they cannot be split by a commit). 
-  In addition, adds are guaranteed to happen on the same segment. (@elbow-jason)
-- Removed `INT_STORED` and `INT_INDEXED`. It is now possible to use `STORED` and `INDEXED`
-  for int fields. (@fulmicoton)
-- Added DateTime field (@barrotsteindev)
-- Added IndexReader. By default, index is reloaded automatically upon new commits (@fulmicoton)

-/// Positions works as a long sequence of compressed block.

-/// All terms are chained one after the other.
-///
-/// When accessing the position of a term, we get a positions_idx from the `Terminfo`.
-/// This means we need to skip to the `nth` positions efficiently.
-///
-/// This is done thanks to two levels of skiping that we refer to in the code
-/// as `long_skip` and `short_skip`.
-///
-/// The `long_skip` makes it possible to skip every 1_024 compression blocks (= 131_072 positions).
-/// Skipping offset are simply stored one after as an offset stored over 8 bytes.
-///
-/// We find the number of long skips, as `n / long_skip`.
-///
-/// Blocks are compressed using bitpacking, so `skip_read` contains the number of bytes
-/// (values can go from 0bit to 32 bits) required to decompressed every block.
-///
-/// A given block obviously takes `(128 x  num_bit_for_the_block / num_bits_in_a_byte)`,
-/// so skipping a block without decompressing it is just a matter of advancing that many
-/// bytes.
