Getting ready for Lucene/Solr 4.7
I just looked through the CHANGE.TXT today and I think we should get
4.7 out of the door. I can do the release though if nobody wants to
volunteer - I suggest to cut a release branch in next week Wednesday
Noon CEST if nobody objects?

It would be great to have a ref guide ready along with the release, but
in its short history, it has so far been handled and released
separately, with its own rc/vote cycles. We've had a grand total of
three ref-guide releases now.
Thanks,
Shawn

FYI,
I build a RC from revision 1569289 and you can download it here [1] to
run / test it use the smoke tester here [2] I also added a 4_7 only
build to my jenkins to run tests on the release branch [3]
[1] http://people.apache.org/~simonw/staging_area/lucene-solr-4.7.0-RC0-rev1569289/
[2] python3.2 -u dev-tools/scripts/smokeTestRelease.py
http://people.apache.org/~simonw/staging_area/lucene-solr-4.7.0-RC0-rev1569289/
1569289 4.7.0 /tmp/smoke_test_4_7
[3] http://builds.flonkings.com/job/Lucene-4.7_Release_Branch_Linux-Java6-64-test-only/
NOTE: this is not a RC that we vote on it just to catch stuff early!

Folks,
I created a release branch for 4.7
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/branches/lucene_solr_4_7
Please backport stuff that should go into the branch until tomorrow
noon CEST. I'd appreciate if large changes could wait until 4.8 to
not unnecessarily destabilize 4.8. I will build an RC0 today to check
if something is broken, once I am done I will post the link here such
that folks can take a look at it and maybe this time it doesn't take 4
RCs to get it done.
thanks,
simon

They are done independently since they come from seperate "sources of
truth" and as a result have seperate VOTE threads. We usually try to cut
an RC of the ref guide just after the first RC of the code -- but there's
no hard and fast rule aout timing. People *should* be docing things in
the ref guide as they commit to 4x, but if voting is in progress on a code
RC and folks want to keep working on the ref guide to polish things up
then (in my opinion) it's worth it to delay the ref guide release a few
days while doing so.

What!? Those bug fix point releases are great :) There are sure to be bugs in a new 4.X release (New Features) and a bug fix release lets users address them in what is normally a much safer upgrade.
Unless you meant, hopefully we have no ugly bugs - in that case, +1 and good luck :)
I think the normal biggest obstacle for a bug fix point release is a volunteer to do it.
