I don't want to overstep my role in this conversation (not being a committer as much as I want to be), but shouldn't there be some thought about what we should *add* to 3.x before 3.x gets rushed out the door? I have no doubt 3.x will be stable; I didn't mean "rushed" in that sense. I'm sure we have in our minds an issue or two that for whatever reason hasn't been committed but should be. Well I take that back, I'm talking to the wrong group of folks since you all would have committed it then! ;-)
One that comes to mind (and to several others I know) is SOLR-1709 Distributed date faceting. This has had working code for a long time, though admittedly not a proper patch nor tests. That issue sorely needs to get committed IMO. And then, it may not qualify as a "bug", but a release is an opportunity to tidy up the /browse interface. I tried to use it recently in 3x and it felt half-baked. FWIW, this is a competitive advantage that Endeca has over Solr -- they have a default browser that is quite good and its indispensable. I'm tempted to also bring up my distaste for the next version of Solr being 3.something instead of 1.5 (in fact I just did) but I'll just leave it at that. AFAIK that battle was lost months ago. ~ David Smiley Robert Muir wrote: > > ... > Despite this, I propose we do a 'casual freeze' on the 3.x code base > in 7 days time, in other words we agree for a few weeks we will focus > on bugs and tests only in branch_3x and try to shorten, not length the > list of issues in JIRA (unless these issues are bugs!). > > The reason I say this, versus creating a release branch right now, is > that I think we should take advantage of our stable branch (branch_3x) > and avoid branching until the last minute: when we are ready to make > an RC. > > I think any features/improvements that cannot be done in 7 days should > really wait for 3.2 instead... and we shouldn't wait a year for that > one to release either... we have a stable branch, lets take advantage > of it. > ... > ----- Author: https://www.packtpub.com/solr-1-4-enterprise-search-server/book -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/wind-down-for-3-1-tp2414923p2483224.html Sent from the Solr - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
