IMO, it was more a removal of unnecessary central configuration. You previously had to list the core in solr.xml, and now you don't. Cores should be fully self-describing so that it should be easy to move them in the future just by moving the core directory (although that may not yet work...) -Yonik http://lucidworks.com > Can anyone point me to any background information about core > auto-discovery?
