Lucene Versions
Today I noticed there is a new release of Lucene v5.5.4. What is the major
difference(s) between the 5.x and 6.x lines of Lucene.
Thanks,
J.D. Corbin

Ah... right I misunderstood your question, thought you were asking for
the list f feature differences between 5x and 6x.
There is never much development work done that far back, this was a
special case. There will almost certainly never be features developed
on the old major version this far into the new major version.
The exception is that when a new major version is released (7.0 will
be the next) there's often quite a bit of work done on both for a
while, but it's usually:
add/fix something in trunk/7.0
backport to 6.x
backport to 5.x if and only if it's really, really important.
When 7.0 comes out, for some time it'll be:
add/fix something in trunk/8.0
backport to 7.x
backport to 6.x
Then eventually the new major version is stable/tested/etc and it
becomes increasingly hard to backport new changes. At that point
development will essentially stop on 6.x and the pattern will be
add/fix something in trunk/8.0
backport to 7.x
Best,
Erick

Adrien, that is what I was looking for...I am using 6.4.1 but was curious
about the different branches. Thanks again.

Lucene 6.x is the stable branch while Lucene 5.x is the old stable branch.
We would advise you to use 6.x if possible as it has more frequent releases
and contains improvements that 5.x does not have.

Re: Lucene Versions

Hi,
I am aware of the changes documented, I was just curious why there are two
baselines for Lucene, e.g., 5.x and 6.x. I would have assumed that 5.x was
a precursor to 6.x, but obviously lucene has separate tracks for 5.x and
6.x.
I'll look again at the changes and see if it details what is the difference
between the 5.x and 6.x tracks and why one might choose one over the other.
Thanks,
J.D.

Please read the CHANGES.txt in both the lucene and solr directories
for all the changes between versions. The "New Features" section is
probably the best overview, while the detailed bug changes are also
listed. Both of the above are defined for each release.
Best,
Erick
