We have started the process of working towards Lucene.NET 4.8, which will conform to Java Lucene 4.8.0 (with a quick patch later to bring it up to speed with 4.8.1). The changes from the current Lucene.NET version (which is 3.0.3) are huge. The project structure is different, the capabilities and features are new. It's practically a different project. As such, we are trying to revamp our process as well, to be more agile and trying to heal the community and project while at it. We have a private thread going on to think of ways we can do that, one of them is to reinstate the PMC, and more is coming. The new sources are here for you to experiment with: https://github.com/apache/lucene.net The Core project is almost entirely ported including all tests, and we have most of the tests green. We have more sub-projects (like Facet, Queries, Analysis, Codecs and more) in the middle of the porting process and should have them out of the door soon as well. Feel free to try it all out - we would love to have more hands on deck for testing and fixing the last remaining tests! We are also working on a CI pipeline, on a TeamCity instance provided by CodeBetter and JetBrains here: teamcity.codebetter.com/project.html?projectId=LuceneNet&tab=projectOverview We are very interested in hearing from you, and hope to see interest and participation grow as we move ahead. We will be sharing more as more happens!
