FWIW: I followed the same pattern as what we did with the beta "news" and
included only "Noteworthy changes since 4.0-BETA" in the 4.0 news ... not
sure if people have any better suggestions and/or think we should feature
any of the highlights already mentioned in the alpha/beta news posts.

: +## 12 October 2012 - Lucene Core 4.0 Available
: +
: +The Lucene PMC is pleased to announce the release of Apache Lucene 4.0
: +
: +Apache Lucene is a high-performance, full-featured text search engine
: +library written entirely in Java. It is a technology suitable for nearly
: +any application that requires full-text search, especially cross-platform.
: +
: +This release contains numerous bug fixes, optimizations, and improvements, some of which are highlighted below. The release is available for immediate download at: <a href="/core/mirrors-core-latest-redir.html?">http://lucene.apache.org/core/mirrors-core-latest-redir.html</a>
: +
: +See the <a href="/core/4_0_0/changes/Changes.html">CHANGES.txt</a> file included with the release for a full list of details.
: +
: +Noteworthy changes since 4.0-BETA:
: +
: +* A new "Block" PostingsFormat offering improved search performance and index compression. This will likely become the default format in a future release.
: +* All non-default codec implementations were moved to a separated codecs module. Just add lucene-codecs-4.0.0.jar to your classpath to test these out.
: +* Payloads can be optionally stored on the term vectors.

As long as the unified change list is easy to get to (for people who are
primarily concerned with how 4.0 is different from 3.x), the abbreviated
news is probably fine.

It hand't really occured to me until you mentioned up, but having beta &
alpha news right below the "final" news item makes me think just including
the improvements since beta really makes a lot of sense in the concext of
this page -- as opposed to the announcement email where there is no
context and we list all the major improvements since 3.6.
That said: don't let me hold you back if you think one unified news
announcement with all the highlights makes more sense. I don't feel
strongly about it.

We have, because it works both ways:
* it confuses people that sometimes the redirector sends you to an
OLDER release than what you asked for.
* it confuses people when it goes to a NEWER release than what you
aske dfor either.
I opened LUCENE-4478 for this, the caching issues are crazy enough for
committers alone just trying to make sure the website is correct.

I think you and i have had this disagreement before.
You think it's bad that someone who finds that link and follows it will
get sent to a *differnet* version then what they thought. i think it's
good because it helps people who may be under the misconception about
what the *newest* version version discover that there is something better
then they might have thought.
I would rather deal with the extremely rare situation of someone who asks
on the mailing list "How do i download old version X.Y" by poiting them to
hte archive; then risk folks who don't know any better downloading an old
release w/o realizing there is something newer they should be using.

In addition to this the mirror-redirector still has caching issues
because of how it works.
Chances are high that some people will be confused and click 4.0 and
be led to 4.0-BETA or something older.
I know this because i have to totally clear my browser cache and close
and reopen the browser and crazy stuff to even test things.

I did this before because of how this mirror-redirector works. the
news items for old releases are actually broken in a confusing way.

We can do it this way (esp. since you did all the work), a different
way i had thought about it was:
when we released the BETA, the notes were incomplete so i kept the
ALPHA stuff too.
for this one my idea was to just blow away ALPHA and BETA completely
there and just have our full 4.0 release notes (which are cumulative
but also have the nice section for people that were testing BETA).
