Hi Michael, I guess this could be solved using grouping as you said. Documents inside a group can be sorted on a field (in your case, the version field, see parameter group.sort), and you can show only the first one. It will be more complex to show facets (post grouping faceting is work in progress but still not committed to the trunk).
I would be easier from the Solr side if you could do something at index time, like indicating which document is the "current" one and which one is an old one (you would need to update the old document whenever a new version is indexed).
