I don't know for sure when we'll release Lucene 1.9/2.0 either, but
it'll be sooner rather than later. My hunch is by August. Given
we've made lots of changes since 1.4.3, we'll release a beta or two
in order to iron out any glaring issues.
Personally, I think it isn't that big a problem to stick with 1.4.x
for now, since we have an extremely limited number of users
anyway. But before we actually release anything we should probably
at least make an effort to make the transition, to avoid having
people depend on interfaces that are deprecated.
Does anyone have any other opinions on this topic?
My vote would be to keep with the trunk (and use only non-deprecated
API) so that Lucene4c is going to match Lucene 2.0.
