lucene 4.0 (fuzzy searching)

Does anybody know when lucene 4.0 will be coming out?  I really need the
improvements to fuzzy searching.  Right now it is taking me a minute or
more to do a fuzzy search on my very large index.  I need to bring it down.
 Does anybody have any solutions for this that do not depend on lucene 4.0?

Thanks

"Hopefully early next year" according to one of the committers at
Apache Eurocon.

But that said, I know that there are people running trunk versions of
Solr in production, so that *is* a possibility although one that makes
people nervous.

An alternative *might* be "sounds like" (various soundex filters).
It's not really the same thing, but could be "good enough"...
