slow-J opened a new issue, #12918: URL: https://github.com/apache/lucene/issues/12918
### Description The change to changing PFOR encoding to FOR for doc blocks in https://github.com/apache/lucene/pull/12741, required bumping the Codec version from 95 to 99. This is not a straightforward process since it involved: * Forking all modified changed files and bumping the version number * Moving the unmodified files to backwards_codecs * Re-generating ForUtil if modified * \+ changes to [forUtil.gradle](https://github.com/apache/lucene/pull/12741/files#diff-6bfb3ba57326f955b44ec86c40070c4e518bffb45cf6226504eab043d545ffbd) to bump version and add a new task for regenerating backwards_codec * Forking PostingsFormat subclasses * Changes to tests: * Bumping existing Codec unit tests * Creating RW versions of old Codec and Codec components * Bumping Codec components where used throughout other tests We required a few follow-ups to clean up the initial misses: * https://github.com/apache/lucene/pull/12781 * https://github.com/apache/lucene/pull/12776 * https://github.com/apache/lucene/pull/12908 * https://github.com/apache/lucene/pull/12904 @mikemccand mentioned in https://github.com/apache/lucene/pull/12904#issuecomment-1849951055 > Codec format migrations are so tricky ... I wish we had a HOWTO somewhere. Since I done the last Codec bump, I can have a look at writing up the documentation so subsequent codec format bumps will go smoother. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
