: because lucene 2.3.0 today released.. It doesn't really work that way.
The Development version of Solr has alreayd been upgradd to Lucene 2.3.0, but there is other code in Solr ... the Solr code :) ... and it's not currently in what i would consider in a "releasable" state at the moment. It's very functionaly and fairly stable, but there is a lot of churn going on with new features like MultiCore support; in addition some APIs for plugin developers and APIs that are being reused in both the Solr internals and the SolrJ client need to be finalized. For people who are interested in the specifics of what the Solr committers feel needs to be done, there is a Solr1.3 wiki tracking broader issues, as well the list of UNRESOLVED issues marked to be fixed in 1.3 in Jira... http://wiki.apache.org/solr/Solr1.3 http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/BrowseVersion.jspa?id=12310230&versionId=12312486&showOpenIssuesOnly=true Generally speaking discussions about release planning tend to happen on the solr-dev list for those who are interested. -Hoss
