Hi, I cut the 0.5.0 release of couchdb-lucene today. Lots of changes and improvements; take care when upgrading from 0.4! The most notable difference between 0.4 and 0.5 is that 0.5 runs as a standalone daemon (whereas 0.4 was launched by couchdb's externals feature).
Bug fixes to 0.5.0 will appear in 0.5.1, new features will appear in 0.6.0.
