+Title: Solr 8 reaches End-Of-Life
+category: solr/news
+save_as:
+
+With Lucene 10 having been released, and therefore Lucene 8 reaching EOL, the
Apache Lucene and Solr PMCs are no longer able to provide new releases for Solr
8.
+Solr 8.11.4 will be the last release of Solr 8.
+
+Users are strongly recommended to upgrade to Solr 9, and prepare for the
soon-to-be-released Solr 10.
