advance?
Thanks

Thanks Steve,
I was trying to look at the page without login and seeing only a handful of
bugs/fixes; probably because most of those bugs/tasks do not have public
security-level.
Thanks

The 7.0 release manager hasn’t gotten around to marking it as released; note that there is an item to do this in the ReleaseToDo: <https://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/ReleaseTodo#Update_JIRA>

Yes, the 7.0.0 version is a duplicate of the 7.0 version. I switched issues with 7.0.0 to 7.0 and removed the 7.0.0 version in JIRA.

I see SOLR-11297 in the JIRA-generated "release note”: <https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12310230&version=12341052>. (Note that Lucene and Solr maintain their own release notes: solr/CHANGES.txt and lucene/CHANGES.txt.)

Thanks , another question(s):
why is this released marked 'unreleased' ?
https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/SOLR/versions/12335718
how is it different from :
https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/SOLR/versions/12341601 (i guess
this is duplicate and will not be used)
I was expecting to see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-11297 in
https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/SOLR/versions/12341052 but couldn't
locate it.

Re: When will be solr 7.1 released?
Posted by Erick Erickson <er...@gmail.com>.
Not quite. Ongoing development always occurs on the *.x branch.
When the release manager (RM) decides to cut a release, they set a
label on the *.x branch. So in this case, when Anshum volunteered to
create 7.0, he picked a time and set the branch_7_0 label pointing at
the then-7x branch.
Thereafter, further development went on the branch_7x code line, with
some selected important improvements being backported to branch_7_0.
One further point is let's say a critical must-fix problem is
discovered in 7.0. Fixes will be committed on branch_7_0 and branch_7x
and any point releases (i.e. 7.0.1) will be cut from branch_7_0.
There's actually one more step since development usually occurs on
master, this is the complete process:

branch_7x is the main branch for all 7.x releases. When it's time for
7.1 to be released, a branch_7_1 will be created from branch_7x.
But branch_7x will continue on and any new changes on branch_7x after
that point will only be in releases after 7.1
So branch_7x always represents the next 7.x release currently in development.

Thanks Yonik and Erick.
That is helpful.
I am slightly confused about the branch name conventions. I expected 7x to
be named as branch_7_0 , am i misunderstanding something? Similar to
branch_6_6 (for 6.6.x onwards) .

One can also use a nightly snapshot build to try out the latest stuff:
7.x: https://builds.apache.org/job/Solr-Artifacts-7.x/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/solr/package/
8.0: https://builds.apache.org/job/Solr-Artifacts-master/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/solr/package/

Re: When will be solr 7.1 released?

There's nothing preventing you from getting/compiling the latest Solr
7x (what will be 7.1) for your own use. There's information here:
https://wiki.apache.org/solr/HowToContribute
Basically, you get the code from Git (instructions provided at the
link above) and execute the "ant package" command from the solr
directory. After things churn for a while you should have the tgz and
zip files just as though you have downloaded them from the Apache
Wiki. You need Java 1.8 JDK and ant installed, and the first time you
try to compile you may see instructions to execute an ant target that
downloads ivy.
One note, there was a comment recently that you may have to get
ivy-2.4.0.jar to have the "ant package" complete successfully.
Best,
Erick

Hi Nawab,
Committership is a prerequisite for the Lucene/Solr release manager role.

Where can I learn more about this process? I am not a committer but I am
wondering if I know enough to do it.

In a word "no". Basically whenever a committer feels like there are
enough changes to warrant spinning a new version, they volunteer.
Nobody has stepped up to do that yet, although I expect it to be in
the next 2-3 months, but that's only a guess.
