I have not heard from sole project maintainer Israel Ekpo ([email protected]) since July 7th. The last email from him was:
Good morning Eric, > > This sounds like a great idea. Do you have access to commit to the PECL > source control? If not, you can send them to me as patches and I will check > them in.

He has not shown any activity on his other outlets since that time either (https://twitter.com/israelekpo, https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62835) Since then, Lucene/Solr 4 have some out and, with it, many of the 3.x deprecated features have been removed and 4.x yields errors when using the extension. I've been addressing as many of the bugs as I can in my GitHub fork (https://github.com/ecaron/php-pecl-solr), and have been actively maintaining the dll extension (https://github.com/ecaron/php_solr.dll). It is likely that previous users of the extension are switching to Solarium ( http://www.solarium-project.org/), and I feel the community is best served by having 2 well maintained Solr/PHP offerings. The 1.x branch needs an update, and a 2.x needs to be started to compensate for functions invoking parameters that have been completely removed from the core (1.x branch will simply ignore them.) Hoping this satisfactorily states my case, Eric Caron (@ecaron)
