I have no opposition to moving forward with 4.8 release personally, but I would like to just call out that while we (Microsoft Power BI) are using Lucene.Net 4.8 beta5 in both shipping product and service production environments, we are using a fairly narrow slice of Lucene.Net functionality (just the core index with our own analyzers; none of the query parsers, document ranking or additional modules outside of the Lucene.Net assembly). So I wouldn't put all our confidence in the stability of 4.8 across the board on my team's usage.
If anyone else is currently using 4.8 for a more typical search scenario it would be nice to hear :) -----Original Message----- From: Andrey Kurdumov <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, February 5, 2019 9:18 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Update on dev happenings I mean “use 4.8 beta” not “you 4.8 beta”.
