Thanks Joel, appreciate your help. Is Solr 4.6 due this year ?
The job of release manager for 4.6 has already been claimed. There should be a release candidate posted on the dev list sometime on November 12th (tomorrow) in the USA timezones, unless a serious problem is discovered.
After the RC gets posted, there is a 72-hour voting period where committers vote whether or not to release that version. If someone finds a problem that warrants a negative vote during that 72 hour period, it will be put on hold until the problem is fixed. A new RC will eventually be made available and the 72-hour voting period will begin again. When the vote finally passes, the release process will begin. It typically takes 2-3 days after that before the official announcement is made.
What this means in real terms is that 4.6 will most likely be out before the end of November. It would take a major series of bugs and problems tokeep that from happening.
Because of the upcoming holiday madness, I think 4.7 is not likely to happen before next year.
Thanks, Shawn
