Hi Folks,
If you are watching lucene-net-commits<AT>incubator.apache.org you will
noticed that I just committed Apache Lucene.Net 2.9.0 build 001 "Alpha".
This is a port of src\Demo\* and src\Lucene.Net\*. I was hoping to also
include src\Test\* but it's not ready yet (I got tied up with family
commitment over this weekend to wrap it up). However, it's very close and I
expect to deliver it by next weekend.
Before my delivery of 2.9.0 code base, I tagged 2.4.0, and updated few files
in it. I also generated MSDN style documentation for it. You can find it
in tags\Lucene.Net_2_4_0\*
As for 2.9.0, indexing and searching works but not necessarily bug free, so
feel free to give it a shot and report back with issues and fixes via JIRA.
As in the past, I flagged port issues with {{Aroush-2.9}} (as well as
Debug.Fail() to catch run-time port issues). The majority of those port
issues are either none-issues, or minor. However, for now, I like to leave
them in for sanity check until when I get the test code ported.
Also, if you are following Apache Java Lucene, you will notice that there is
a major issue with 2.9.0 (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1974)
This prompted the need to release of 2.9.1 which may happen next week or so.
This means, once 2.9.1 is release, we have to adopt it too -- the port of
2.9.1 should be minor and I'm thinking to role it up into 2.9.0. E.g.:
switch over to 2.9.1 rather than release Apache Lucene.Net 2.9.0 followed
with Apache Lucene.Net 2.9.1.
Finally, any further communication about port progress, I will confine them
to lucene-net-dev@ mailing list only and I ask that we all do the same
moving forward. This way, we don't pollute the mailing list (I always used
both mailing list because we were a small community, but we are past that
now).
That's it for now. So take 2.9.0 for a spin, and report back!
Thanks.
