Lucene 2.9 Release Imminent »

Mark Miller reports that:

The third release candidate for Lucene 2.9 is about to hit and the final release is likely to be only days behind. Almost one year in the making, Lucene 2.9 is feature packed and progressively faster. With Solr 1.4 planning to release very shortly after 2.9, things are shaping up very nicely in Lucene land.

In anticipation of the Solr 1.4 release, Eric Pugh has announced that the first book on Solr, Solr 1.4 Enterprise Search Server, has been published and is available for purchase.
