Hi Joe, Sure we can do this, there is no technical reason, it's all about commitment and cycles. In order to make the Lucene.Net trunk in par with the Jira Lucene trunk, we must first get 2.0 out, then sync up with 2.0.1 and then 2.1. Why? Each of those releases is based on top of the earlier release.

Jira has two versions: 2.0.1 and 2.1, and the Javadoc has the 2.1-dev API: http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/api/index.html This gives me the impression that there are two branches. 2.0.x mostly for bug fixes on top of 2.0.0, and 2.1 which is the next "major" release which includes new APIs and such. > What is holding me back from doing this is the fact that 2.0.1 is > based on top of 2.0, and since 2.0 is still not released yet, I can't > start working on 2.0.1. Is there a technical reason why it can't be done, is it a maintenance problem when merging codebases, or is it simply a time/manpower problem? Any of these is a perfectly acceptable and reasonable answer... I am just curious. Thanks, Joe
