One of the things about the 1.3 release that I didn't care for, was the inclusion of a non-release version of Lucene. It was very difficult to track down the source code for the "dev" version that was used. Once Lucene had release its official version, I upgraded to that (which went well) so that I had access to Lucene source.
If Lucene is going to release relatively soon, a release after that might be nice. For what it's worth, I understand the difficulty of having 2 projects running in parallel with the dependency between them. While trying to improve both at the same time. I'm not trying to throw stones, just sharing an opinion. -Todd Feak -----Original Message----- From: Ryan McKinley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2008 1:20 PM To: solr-dev@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: 1.4 Planning sounds good. is lucene planning a release anytime soon?
