Shad,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful response. That is exactly the sort of
information I am wanting to make an informed decision. I will stick with the
formal releases, and start my new project later today using Release
4.8.0-beta00007, but will look to upgrade on your release schedule on an
as-soon-as available basis.
And of course if I discover any issues I will report accordingly. My
implementation is rather straight-forward, so unlikely to encounter problems.

Jeff,
Thanks for the inquiry.
Release 4.8.0-beta00007 included a few new features and performance
enhancements (mostly benefiting .NET Framework users, macOS users, and .NET
Core 3 users). The commits on the master branch are mostly to migrate
components from the Lucene.Net.Support namespace to J2N, but also include some
additional performance enhancements that also affect .NET Core 2.
We have been stalled a bit on a new beta release because while we were able to
successfully eliminate the Lucene.Net.Support namespace from the public API in
Lucene.Net, there are a few components left in the ICU4N.Support public
namespace that require some refactoring to fit in the .NET world before they
can be migrated to J2N. But, given that is not a really good excuse to hold up
a release with performance enhancements, we will probably be releasing it
sooner rather than later.
Unless top performance is absolutely critical for your use case, or unless you
have found that you require a component that is in the Lucene.Net.Support
namespace (that has since been refactored and migrated to J2N), I recommend you
stick with the releases on NuGet.org.
That said, our release schedule is not fixed – we depend heavily on
contributions and user feedback to move us forward.
Thanks,

Subject: lucene.net 4.8 Status
Hello Shad, I'm looking to integrate lucenenet into a .net core 2.2 project.
I see in github the most recent pre-release is 4.8.0-beta00007 on January 29,
with 75 commits since then, most recently from you just yesterday (April 1).
Understanding the project is still in pre-release status, what version would
you recommend I start with? Should I use the January 29 release, or is the
current version of master stable enough to start with, anticipating a newer
release soon?
Thanks,
Jeff
