Hi All, I've published draft release notes for the upcoming Apache Lucene 10.3.0 release here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/LUCENE/ReleaseNote10_3_0
Please let me know if you think any notable changes are missed or misrepresented. You can also directly edit the release notes page, but let me know if you have major changes so we don't lose them across iterations. Adrien – I see some weird formatting on the word "directly" in my last reply. Had typed it on the phone, don't know how that happened! Thanks, Vigya On Thu, Sep 11, 2025 at 1:15 PM Vigya Sharma <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey Adrien, > > I started working on them in my local copy.
