Upgrading to higher version

Hello,

We are currently in Solr 5.2.1 and we build our project thru ant and bundle as WAR file. Now, we want to upgrade solr to latest version(7.x)

Can you please let me know, what is the stable release? And will I still be able to ship our application as war file? Any guide/steps do the same is much appreciated.

Also, our application was running on tomcat/websphere, will it be any different in Jetty?

Thanks and Regards,

The only releases in Solr's history that weren't stable releases were 
4.0-ALPHA and 4.0-BETA, released before 4.0.0.  The most current release 
of Solr is 7.4.0.  Unless a release is specifically tagged alpha or 
beta, then the intent is for it to be a stable release.

Solr dropped official support for third-party containers with the 
release of 5.0.  It is still possible to run Solr in some containers, 
but we cannot guarantee that it will work properly. The only container 
that has received official testing by the project is the Jetty that 
comes with Solr.  It is strongly recommended that you use that container 
to run Solr.
