Hi all, This page lists Lucene 8 as EOL: https://endoflife.date/apache-lucene
And what I found here from SOLR is: "With Lucene 10 having been released, and therefore Lucene 8 reaching EOL, the Apache Lucene and Solr PMCs are no longer able to provide new releases for Solr 8. Solr 8.11.4 will be the last release of Solr 8.“ Cf. https://solr.apache.org/news.html#solr-8-reaches-end-of-life Couldn’t find any authoritative source from the Lucene PMC regarding only maintaining 2 release lines, but the Solr posted the above. In general: No objections from my side, but the last 8.11.x release of Lucene was done 2 years ago - so IMHO there should be a clear release plan on their side, if we make the extra round-trip...
