Personally I think a lucene 4.0.1 would be strange: on the other hand 4.1 is already looking very exciting. Just the fact we have a more efficient postings list format is really a huge change for lucene, as developers it might not seem that way since its "just another codec" but for users this is really a big deal and hasn't been done before. I think thats a big enough feature to justify a 4.1 release soonish (e.g. a month) myself. Not sure a 4.0.1 would come any faster: if there was a plan for such a thing I would want to backport all the bugfixes and so on from 4.1 where they are already safely integrated and baked... I think we should just plan on releasing more often. We should avoid massive massive releases like 4.0 in the future, there is just no need for that. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
