Re: Request to release packages(Apache Solr Solrj,Apache Solr Core) with latest netty

[David Smiley <ds...@apache.org>]

It was just recently updated:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-14606
8.7 will use 4.1.50.Final.  I just checked by using a local distribution
(cd solr; ant dist) on branch_8x and looking for the netty jar files
therein.
