Thanks for sharing Uwe. It would be wonderful to make latest java9 works with the released version. I can delay the branching until https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7596 is closed ? In the mean time I am trying to create the release notes in the wiki but I don't have the permissions to create the pages. Where can I get such permissions ?
