      The new analyzer Lucy::Analysis::StandardTokenizer tokenizes according
      to the UAX #29 word break rules.

      EasyAnalyzer is simple analysis chain using the StandardTokenizer, the

                   affect scoring
    * [LUCY-181] - Perl Documentation fix - Remove links to classes within
                   docs, that are not exposed to Perl
    * [LUCY-182] - highlighter bug when searching for duplicate terms [wordX
                   wordX]
    * [LUCY-183] - Eliminate spurious "extra" query normalization

      been removed.

Disclaimer:

  Apache Lucy is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software
  Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required
  of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the
  infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized
  in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects.  While incubation
  status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of
  the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by
  the ASF.

Regards,

Peter Karman, on behalf of the Apache Lucy development team and community
