If you require an official Appache stamped / approved Lucene.Net release, then 2.0 it is (download the ZIP). If you want the latest and most stable, then 2.1 it is (get it off the trunk). > > 2) Does the .Net framework version matter? ie: Is Lucene.Net > compatible with .Net 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, and possibly future .NET 4.0? No, the .NET framework will not matter. > 3) How is support for Lucene.Net? I've noticed that > Lucene.Net releases has seemed to slow versus the Java Lucene. Recently, we added new committers. We are working hard to keep Lucene.Net in sync with Java Lucene. We are all volunteers; if you can help, jump in. > Thanks! >
