The PyLucene 4.8.0-1 release tracking the recent release of Apache Lucene
4.8.0 is ready.
******* <ATTENTION> *******
Starting with release 4.8.0, Lucene now requires Java 1.7 at the minimum.
Using Java 1.6 with Lucene 4.8.0 is not supported.
On Mac OS X, Java 6 is still a common default, please upgrade if you haven't
done so already. A common upgrade is Oracle Java 1.7 for Mac OS X:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/mac/mac-jdk.html
On Mac OS X, once installed, a way to make Java 1.7 the default in your
bash shell is:
$ export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home`
Be sure to verify that JAVA_HOME value.
On any system, if you're upgrading your Java installation, please rebuild
JCC as well. You must use the same version of Java for both JCC and
PyLucene.
