When I was testing Tika last year, I used Solr build 1271 to get the most recent Tika I could get my hands on at the time. That was before Solr 3.1, so I expect it was 1.4.1 - I downloaded it 4 days after I downloaded 1.4.1 on 10/8/2010. A look inside confirms that was Tika 0.8. Although it was a nightly build, we found it perfectly stable in operation for what we were doing. You might take the same approach.
