Solr 1.3 final was released today, congratulations to the development team!
This release ships with a lot of new features:
- Distributed search capabilities
- Supporting multiple indexes in one deployment (this means also multiple languages in one deployment)
- Chained search components (More Like This, Spell Checking, etc.)
- The new DataImportHandler to import easily from Database to Solr
Solr 1.3 also comes with an updated Lucene version 2.3 which means significantly faster indexing performance.
I was already playing around with the release candidate and started writing some reviews, my first review on how to handle multiple indexes in one deployment is following soon here!
By the way, Solr is still missing a new logo: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/LogoContest
