I updated http://lucene.staging.apache.org/solr/community.html <http://lucene.staging.apache.org/solr/community.html> with a table.
However, stepping back, it feels a bit mal-placed on a “Community” page. I wonder if we better move the version table or perhaps the whole explanation altogheter to a new solr/downloads.html page. Then we could move all text from http://lucene.staging.apache.org/solr/mirrors-solr-latest-redir.html <http://lucene.staging.apache.org/solr/mirrors-solr-latest-redir.html> to that page. To be honest, it’s a pain that our “Download” page is displayed for a few seconds only before redirecting. If we create a stable download.html page that page could have a table with links directly to the versions, the version specific ref-guides as well as info about CVE’s or documentation addendums etc. -- Jan Høydahl, search solution architect Cominvent AS - www.cominvent.com > 13. jan. 2017 kl. 01.56 skrev Walter Underwood <wun...@wunderwood.org>: > > I like the list version.
