Re: Announce list
Hi, Thanks for your answers. I'll give some context: our project uses multiple 3rd party products, Solr is among them. Upgrading versions of 3rd parties can only take place at specific points in time in the development cycle. At these points it would be useful to be able to see what changed in all the 3rd parties and consider the upgrade. So some projects (e.g. Maven, Tomcat) have their own ANNOUNCE-only lists that make it easy to get informed of just the updates, and I was hoping to have the same functionality in Solr. The proposed solutions so far (the Apache general updates RSS and the Solr general list) are too noisy and not focused enough. Relatedly, is it possible to get updates on the Solr News page ( http://lucene.apache.org/solr/solrnews.html)? I couldn't find an RSS link or such.

Well, the feed URL previously posted just happened to be for all projects, there are also per project based feeds if you want more focused RSS... https://projects.apache.org/feeds/rss/solr.xml : Relatedly, is it possible to get updates on the Solr News page ( : http://lucene.apache.org/solr/solrnews.html)?

Could we add that link to the official documentation page (next to mailing list links) for other people interested in this kinds of thing to find. Regards, Alex.

Announce list
Hi, Is there a mailing list for getting just announcements about new versions? Thanks, Arie
Re: Announce list
I don't think so. What would be the value? Would you be upgrading every 6-8 weeks as the new versions come out? Or are you downstream of Solr and want to check compatibility? Curious what the use case would be. Regards, Alex.

Re: Announce list
I have seen other projects that have a releases mailing list, the only use cases I can think of are: 1) users who want notifications about new releases, but don't want the flood of the full user-list. 2) historical searching to see how often releases were made. Given there isn't an official timetable, its not really going to be useful as a forward planner, but might have some value looking at how often patch releases come out. One could attempt to infer some degree of stability (or more accurately lack of stability) if lots of patches for a given release came out quickly. Wasn't aware of the RSS feed, that's useful as an indicator for use case 1 at least. Use case 2 is probably too vague and has lots of assumptions/inferences that mean its a bad idea anyway :) On 3 February 2014 14:37, Lajos la...@protulae.com wrote: There's always http://projects.apache.org/feeds/rss.xml.
