We are getting there, though, and it is a high priority. :-) It will
use 2.4-dev, as far as I can tell, unless the Lucene community all of
a sudden decides to ship. Not to worry, however, as Hoss has
explained a number of times, it is the Lucene PMC that makes releases,
not Lucene Java or Solr communities. So, by us making a Solr release
w/ that version, we are effectively releasing that copy of Lucene.
Maybe we should call it lucene-2.4-solr.jar so as to drop the word dev
from it.
One of the best things the community can do to help, is to download
and try out trunk, as well as the release candidates that we will be
posting during the freeze, and give us feedback. Because 1.3 has a
lot of changes (we hope for the better), this will be especially
important.

People who are interested in following/discussing the release process
should keep tabs on solr-dev ... Grant volunteered to act as the
Release
Manager for 1.3, and (to paraphrase his comments from a few hours
ago) he
does not feel we are quite ready for a feature freeze.
