I disagree. the issues mentioned (the feature parts) are in the pipeline and patches available. mike started a branch for fixing some of the Field API issues, Norms are cut over and Similarity support is close. The remaining part is smoothing APIs, more tests and fixing documentation. the main issue here is letting the features and the API stabilize itself which needs time. > Branching so soon would just cause that much more merging work, which > would quickly get difficult if people made meaningful changes to 5x. > Are there really any large 5x changes that people want to start > working on *now* rather than working on 4.0? thats not the issue here IMO. we should not merge much from 5.0 feature wise and since there are no huge features planned its a good time I think. this gives us time until 5.x and 4.0 diverge too much. > >> What is the >> status of solr-cloud? > > Coming up quickly - I think we're down to one no-commit, and we should > be ready to merge back to trunk hopefully next week. great! so we can then consider branching no? > > -Yonik > http://www.lucidimagination.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
