Hi,

+1 to release this time!

- I ran smoketester on Linux (JDKs: 1.6.0_33, 1.7.0_07, server, 64bit), passed!
- I used the PANGAEA index (version 3.6.1, copied from our production system), 
ran checkindex on it (both JDKs) passed. Index size and deletions were reported 
correctly this time. I also checked an force-merged PANGAEA index, passed also.
- I used IndexUpgrader to upgrade both 3.6.1 indexes, passed.
- I checked the output of IndexUpgrader again with CheckIndex, the output for 
the force-merged 3.6.1 index was identical to the migrated 4.0 index (number of 
terms,....)
- I compared the index sizes of the single-segment 3.6.1 and 4.0.0 indexes: 4.0 
was slightly larger. You have to know that this index contains thousands of 
fields (it allows to search in XML based on XQuery-like, so we have a field for 
every possible xpath of our rather complex XML schema in the index). The search 
speed improved dramatically (because of the separate term dictionaries for 
every field). In addition, so the bigger size is also caused by splitting 
fields to separate term dictionaries vs. one in 3.6. 4.0 also has more 
statistics. I think an index with 10 fields may be smaller, will try this a 
little bit later with another index
- I used the demo module to run some text-only queries, they passed.

On small thing: We mention (in lucene's package), that Java 6 is needed, so we 
should at least mention that in the release notes. We should improve our 
docs/index.(html|xsl) to mention system requirements. Same for Solr. We have a 
system requirements page on the website, but that is unversioned, so we should 
also add a section for 4.0 there. But this is not the way to go. We should also 
mention that Java 7 is the preferred Java version, if you have 1.7.0_01 at 
least.

Uwe
