Short followup: The smoketester also worked with Java 27, so we have
full coverage (LTS in bold): Java *21*, 22, 23, 24, *25*, 26, 27

Hi,
I re-ran Policeman Jenkins and checked the Changes Log and
documentation webpage. The first one succeeded with Java 21, 22,....25
and 26. Java 27 wasn't tested, because the Gradle Wrapper Skript of
Lucene 10.x rejects to run on Java 27 (see
https://github.com/apache/lucene/blob/4ae946e5a9b99d1e22c23865c99e561b8dcc9d71/gradlew#L241),
which is IMHO not correct, as Gradle 9.8 supports Java 27 (see
https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/compatibility.html).
Here is Policeman's log:
https://jenkins.thetaphi.de/job/Lucene-10.x-Release-Tester/20/console
SUCCESS! [5:07:07.027279]
Finished: SUCCESS
There is one bug in the documnetation: On the homepage's
documentation, the link to fileformats is wrong as there was a
copy-paste error. The link has quotes in it around the codec name so
leads to file not found error. I think the problem here is a wrong
regex that gets the latest codec version from source files. I will
open issue to fix this. I have no idea why the python link checker
scripts did not catch this!
So from my perspective: There are 2 minor bugs (Java version
boundaries for running Gradle and a bug in the documentation), so
theres nothing against releasing this as the result is functionally fine.
+1 to Release! -- But if we respin fix both bugs and also the shared
arena one mentioned before: https://github.com/apache/lucene/pull/16931

Hi,
Policeman Jenkins built and tested that artifact with various Java
versions (21-24), but I will give it a second run with Java versions
up to 26 (27 is not allowed by our Gradle Wrapper in 10.x).
Up to now it looks fine!
