+http://s.apache.org/luceneversions
+
+======================= Lucene 3.5.0 ================
+
+Changes in backwards compatibility policy
+
+ * LUCENE-3446: Removed BooleanFilter.finalResult() due to change to
+ FixedBitSet. (Uwe Schindler)
+
+ * LUCENE-3508: Changed some method signatures in decompounding TokenFilters
+ to make them no longer use the Token class. (Uwe Schindler)
+
+ * LUCENE-3557: The various SpellChecker.indexDictionary methods were removed,
+ and consolidated to one:
+
+ indexDictionary(Dictionary dict, IndexWriterConfig config, boolean optimize)
+
+ Previously, there was no way to specify an IndexWriterConfig, and some
+ of these methods would sneakily pass 'true' to optimize. (Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-3558: Moved NRTManager & NRTManagerReopenThread into lucene core
+ o.a.l.search. (Simon Willnauer)
+
+ * LUCENE-2564: WordListLoader is now flaged as @lucene.internal. All methods in
+ WordListLoader now return CharArraySet/Map and expect Reader instances for
+ efficiency. Utilities to open Readers from Files, InputStreams or Java
+ resources were added to IOUtils. (Simon Willnauer, Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-3552: Renamed LuceneTaxonomyReader/Writer to DirectoryTR/TW. (Shai Erera)
+
+ * LUCENE-3556: DirectoryTaxonomyWriter's indexWriter is now private and
+ openIndexWriter() now returns an IndexWriter. (Shai Erera)
+
+New Features
+
+ * LUCENE-1824: Add BoundaryScanner interface and its implementation classes,
+ SimpleBoundaryScanner and BreakIteratorBoundaryScanner, so that FVH's FragmentsBuilder
+ can find "natural" boundary to make snippets. (Robert Muir, Koji Sekiguchi)
+
+ * LUCENE-1889: Add MultiTermQuery support for FVH. (Mike Sokolov via Koji Sekiguchi)
+
+ * LUCENE-3458: Change BooleanFilter to have only a single clauses ArrayList
+ (so toString() works in order). It now behaves more like BooleanQuery,
+ implements Iterable<FilterClause>, and allows adding Filters without
+ creating FilterClause. (Uwe Schindler)
+
+ * LUCENE-3414: Added HunspellStemFilter which uses a provided pure Java implementation of the
+ Hunspell algorithm. (Chris Male)
+
+ * LUCENE-3445: Added SearcherManager, to manage sharing and reopening
+ IndexSearchers across multiple search threads. IndexReader's
+ refCount is used to safely close the reader only once all threads are done
+ using it. (Michael McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-3486: Add SearcherLifetimeManager, to manage retrieving the
+ same searcher used in a previous search to ensure follow-on actions
+ (next page, drill down, etc.) use the same searcher as before (Mike
+ McCandless)
+
+API Changes
+
+ * LUCENE-3431: Deprecated QueryAutoStopWordAnalyzer.addStopWords* since they
+ prevent reuse. Stopwords are now to be computed when the Analyzer is instantiated.
+ If new stopwords are needed, a new Analyzer instance should be created. (Chris Male)
+
+ * LUCENE-3434: Deprecated ShingleAnalyzerWrapper.set* since they prevent reuse. The
+ Analyzer should be configured at instantiation. Deprecated PerFieldAnalyzerWrapper.addAnalyzer
+ since it also prevents reuse. Analyzers per field should be configured at instantiation.
+ (Chris Male)
+
+ * LUCENE-3579: DirectoryTaxonomyWriter throws AlreadyClosedException if it was
+ closed, but any of its API methods are called. (Shai Erera)
+
+ * LUCENE-3573: TaxonomyReader.refresh() signature was modified from void to
+ boolean, now returning an indication if any change was detected. It
+ throws a new InconsistentTaxonomyException if the taxonomy was recreated
+ since TaxonomyReader was last opened or refreshed. (Doron Cohen)
+
+Bug Fixes
+
+ * LUCENE-3417: DictionaryCompoundWordFilter did not properly add tokens from the
+ end compound word. (Njal Karevoll via Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-3019: Fix unexpected color tags for FastVectorHighlighter. (Koji Sekiguchi)
+
+ * LUCENE-3446: Fix NPE in BooleanFilter when DocIdSet/DocIdSetIterator is null.
+ Converted code to FixedBitSet and simplified. (Uwe Schindler, Shuji Umino)
+
+ * LUCENE-3484: Fix NPE in TaxonomyWriter: parents array creation was not thread safe.
+ (Doron Cohen)
+
+ * LUCENE-3485: Fix a bug in LuceneTaxonomyReader, where calling decRef() might
+ close the inner IndexReader, leaving the taxonomy reader in limbo.
+ (Gilad Barkai via Shai Erera)
+
+ * LUCENE-3495: Fix BlockJoinQuery to properly implement getBoost()/setBoost().
+ (Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-3519: BlockJoinCollector always returned null when you tried
+ to retrieve top groups for any BlockJoinQuery after the first (Mark
+ Harwood, Mike McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-3301: Added a workaround for buggy BreakIterator implementations in
+ Java that crash on certain inputs containing supplementary characters.
+ (Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-3501: RandomSample was not random.
+ Replaced with RandomSampler. For previous behavior use RepeatableSampler.
+ (Gilad Barkai, Shai Erera, Doron Cohen)
+
+ * LUCENE-3508: Decompounders based on CompoundWordTokenFilterBase can now be
+ used with custom attributes. All those attributes are preserved and set on all
+ added decompounded tokens. (Spyros Kapnissis, Uwe Schindler)
+
+ * LUCENE-3542: Group expanded query terms to preserve parent boolean operator
+ in StandartQueryParser. (Simon Willnauer)
+
+ * LUCENE-3573: TaxonomyReader.refresh() was broken in case that the taxonomy was
+ recreated since the taxonomy reader was last refreshed or opened. TR.refresh()
+ now detects this situation and throws an InconsistentTaxonomyException.
+ When obtaining such an exception the application should open a new taxonomy
+ reader. Old taxonomy reader should be closed, once not more used. (Doron Cohen)
+
+API Changes
+
+ * LUCENE-3436: Add SuggestMode to the spellchecker, so you can specify the strategy
+ for suggesting related terms. (James Dyer via Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-3513: Add SimpleFragListBuilder constructor with margin parameter.
+ (Kelsey Francis via Koji Sekiguchi)
+
+======================= Lucene 3.4.0 ================
+
+New Features
+
+ * LUCENE-3234: provide a limit on phrase analysis in FastVectorHighlighter for
+ highlighting speed up. Use FastVectorHighlighter.setPhraseLimit() to set limit
+ (e.g. 5000). (Mike Sokolov via Koji Sekiguchi)
+
+ * LUCENE-3079: a new facet module which provides faceted indexing & search
+ capabilities. It allows managing a taxonomy of categories, and index them
+ with documents. It also provides search API for aggregating (e.g. count)
+ the weights of the categories that are relevant to the search results.
+ (Shai Erera)
+
+ * LUCENE-3171: Added BlockJoinQuery and BlockJoinCollector, under the
+ new contrib/join module, to enable searches that require joining
+ between parent and child documents. Joined (children + parent)
+ documents must be indexed as a document block, using
+ IndexWriter.add/UpdateDocuments (Mark Harwood, Mike McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-3233, LUCENE-3375: Added SynonymFilter for applying multi-word synonyms
+ during indexing or querying (with parsers for wordnet and solr formats).
+ Removed contrib/wordnet. (Simon Rosenthal, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-1768: added support for numeric ranges in contrib query parser;
+ added support for simple numeric queries, such as <age:4>, in contrib
+ query parser (Vinicius Barros via Uwe Schindler)
+
+Changes in runtime behavior:
+
+ * LUCENE-1768: StandardQueryConfigHandler now uses NumericFieldConfigListener
+ to set a NumericConfig to its corresponding FieldConfig;
+ StandardQueryTreeBuilder now uses DummyQueryNodeBuilder for
+ NumericQueryNodes and uses NumericRangeQueryNodeBuilder for
+ NumericRangeQueryNodes; StandardQueryNodeProcessorPipeline now executes
+ NumericQueryNodeProcessor followed by NumericRangeQueryNodeProcessor
+ right after LowercaseExpandedTermsQueryNodeProcessor
+ (Vinicius Barros via Uwe Schindler)
+
+API Changes
+
+ * LUCENE-3296: PKIndexSplitter & MultiPassIndexSplitter now have version
+ constructors. PKIndexSplitter accepts a IndexWriterConfig for each of
+ the target indexes. (Simon Willnauer, Jason Rutherglen)
+
+ * LUCENE-2979: queryparser configuration API located under
+ org.apache.lucene.queryParser.core.config has been simplified and
+ Attribute objects no longer should be used to configure query parsers. Now
+ any configuration should be done through AbstractQueryConfig's set and get
+ methods. The old API, which uses Attributes objects, is still in place, however
+ it has been deprecated and will be removed soon.
+ (Phillipe Ramalho via Adriano Crestani)
+
+ * LUCENE-3400: Deprecated DutchAnalyzer.setStemDictionary since it prevents
+ TokenStream reuse (Chris Male)
+
+ * LUCENE-1768: setNumericConfigMap and getNumericConfigMap were added
+ to StandardQueryParser; ParametricRangeQueryNode and
+ oal.queryParser.standard.nodes.RangeQueryNode now implement
+ oal.queryParser.core.nodes.RangeQueryNode;
+ oal.queryParser.core.nodes.RangeQueryNode was deprecated and now extends
+ TermRangeQueryNode, which extends AbstractRangeQueryNode;
+ ParametricQueryNode was deprecated; FieldQueryNode now implements the
+ new FieldValueQueryNode<CharSequence>, which this last one implements
+ FieldableQueryNode and thew new ValueQueryNode
+ (Vinicius Barros via Uwe Schindler)
+
+ * LUCENE-3488: Factored out SearcherManager from NRTManager. NRTManager
+ now manages SearcherManager instances instead of IndexSearcher directly.
+ Acquiring a SearcherManager is non-blocking unless the caller explicitly
+ requires to acquire a certain SearcherManager generation. (Simon Willnauer)
+
+Optimizations
+
+ * LUCENE-3306: Disabled indexing of positions for spellchecker n-gram
+ fields: they are not needed because the spellchecker does not
+ use positional queries. (Robert Muir)
+
+Bug Fixes
+
+ * LUCENE-3326: Fixed bug if you used MoreLikeThis.like(Reader), it would
+ try to re-analyze the same Reader multiple times, passing different
+ field names to the analyzer. Additionally MoreLikeThisQuery would take
+ your string and encode/decode it using the default charset, it now uses
+ a StringReader. Finally, MoreLikeThis's methods that take File, URL, InputStream,
+ are deprecated, please create the Reader yourself. (Trejkaz, Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-3347: XML query parser did not always incorporate boosts from
+ UserQuery elements. (Moogie, Uwe Schindler)
+
+ * LUCENE-3382: Fixed a bug where NRTCachingDirectory's listAll() would wrongly
+ throw NoSuchDirectoryException when all files written so far have been
+ cached to RAM and the directory still has not yet been created on the
+ filesystem. (Robert Muir)
+
+======================= Lucene 3.3.0 =======================
+
+New Features
+
+ * LUCENE-152: Add KStem (light stemmer for English).
+ (Yonik Seeley via Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-3135: Add suggesters (autocomplete) to contrib/spellchecker,
+ with three implementations: Jaspell, Ternary Trie, and Finite State.
+ (Andrzej Bialecki, Dawid Weiss, Mike Mccandless, Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-3129: Added BlockGroupingCollector, a single pass
+ grouping collector which is faster than the two-pass approach, and
+ also computes the total group count, but requires that every
+ document sharing the same group was indexed as a doc block
+ (IndexWriter.add/updateDocuments). (Mike McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-2955: Added NRTManager and NRTManagerReopenThread, to
+ simplify handling NRT reopen with multiple search threads, and to
+ allow an app to control which indexing changes must be visible to
+ which search requests. (Mike McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-3191: Added SearchGroup.merge and TopGroups.merge, to
+ facilitate doing grouping in a distributed environment (Uwe
+ Schindler, Mike McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-2919: Added PKIndexSplitter, that splits an index according
+ to a middle term in a specified field. (Jason Rutherglen via Mike
+ McCandless, Uwe Schindler)
+
+API Changes
+
+ * LUCENE-3141: add getter method to access fragInfos in FieldFragList.
+ (Sujit Pal via Koji Sekiguchi)
+
+ * LUCENE-3099: Allow subclasses to determine the group value for
+ First/SecondPassGroupingCollector. (Martijn van Groningen, Mike
+ McCandless)
+
+Bug Fixes
+
+ * LUCENE-3185: Fix bug in NRTCachingDirectory.deleteFile that would
+ always throw exception and sometimes fail to actually delete the
+ file. (Mike McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-3188: contrib/misc IndexSplitter creates indexes with incorrect
+ SegmentInfos.counter; added CheckIndex check & fix for this problem.
+ (Ivan Dimitrov Vasilev via Steve Rowe)
+
+Build
+
+ * LUCENE-3149: Upgrade contrib/icu's ICU jar file to ICU 4.8.
+ (Robert Muir)
+
+======================= Lucene 3.2.0 =======================
+
+Changes in backwards compatibility policy
+
+ * LUCENE-2981: Removed the following contribs: ant, db, lucli, swing. (Robert Muir)
+
+Changes in runtime behavior
+
+ * LUCENE-3086: ItalianAnalyzer now uses ElisionFilter with a set of Italian
+ contractions by default. (Robert Muir)
+
+Bug Fixes
+
+ * LUCENE-3045: fixed QueryNodeImpl.containsTag(String key) that was
+ not lowercasing the key before checking for the tag (Adriano Crestani)
+
+ * LUCENE-3026: SmartChineseAnalyzer's WordTokenFilter threw NullPointerException
+ on sentences longer than 32,767 characters. (wangzhenghang via Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2939: Highlighter should try and use maxDocCharsToAnalyze in
+ WeightedSpanTermExtractor when adding a new field to MemoryIndex as well as
+ when using CachingTokenStream. This can be a significant performance bug for
+ large documents. (Mark Miller)
+
+ * LUCENE-3043: GermanStemmer threw IndexOutOfBoundsException if it encountered
+ a zero-length token. (Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-3044: ThaiWordFilter didn't reset its cached state correctly, this only
+ caused a problem if you consumed a tokenstream, then reused it, added different
+ attributes to it, and consumed it again. (Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler)
+
+ * LUCENE-3113: Fixed some minor analysis bugs: double-reset() in ReusableAnalyzerBase
+ and ShingleAnalyzerWrapper, missing end() implementations in PrefixAwareTokenFilter
+ and PrefixAndSuffixAwareTokenFilter, invocations of incrementToken() after it
+ already returned false in CommonGramsQueryFilter, HyphenatedWordsFilter,
+ ShingleFilter, and SynonymsFilter. (Robert Muir, Steven Rowe, Uwe Schindler)
+
+New Features
+
+ * LUCENE-3016: Add analyzer for Latvian. (Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-1421: create new grouping contrib module, enabling search
+ results to be grouped by a single-valued indexed field. This
+ module was factored out of Solr's grouping implementation, but
+ it cannot group by function queries nor arbitrary queries. (Mike
+ McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-3098: add AllGroupsCollector, to collect all unique groups
+ (but in unspecified order). (Martijn van Groningen via Mike
+ McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-3092: Added NRTCachingDirectory in contrib/misc, which
+ caches small segments in RAM. This is useful, in the near-real-time
+ case where the indexing rate is lowish but the reopen rate is
+ highish, to take load off the IO system. (Mike McCandless)
+
+Optimizations
+
+ * LUCENE-3040: Switch all analysis consumers (highlighter, morelikethis, memory, ...)
+ over to reusableTokenStream(). (Robert Muir)
+
+======================= Lucene 3.1.0 =======================
+
+Changes in backwards compatibility policy
+
+ * LUCENE-2100: All Analyzers in Lucene-contrib have been marked as final.
+ Analyzers should be only act as a composition of TokenStreams, users should
+ compose their own analyzers instead of subclassing existing ones.
+ (Simon Willnauer)
+
+ * LUCENE-2194, LUCENE-2201: Snowball APIs were upgraded to snowball revision
+ 502 (with some local modifications for improved performance).
+ Index backwards compatibility and binary backwards compatibility is
+ preserved, but some protected/public member variables changed type. This
+ does NOT affect java code/class files produced by the snowball compiler,
+ but technically is a backwards compatibility break. (Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2226: Moved contrib/snowball functionality into contrib/analyzers.
+ Be sure to remove any old obselete lucene-snowball jar files from your
+ classpath! (Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2323: Moved contrib/wikipedia functionality into contrib/analyzers.
+ Additionally the package was changed from org.apache.lucene.wikipedia.analysis
+ to org.apache.lucene.analysis.wikipedia. (Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2581: Added new methods to FragmentsBuilder interface. These methods
+ are used to set pre/post tags and Encoder. (Koji Sekiguchi)
+
+ * LUCENE-2391: Improved spellchecker (re)build time/ram usage by omitting
+ frequencies/positions/norms for single-valued fields, modifying the default
+ ramBufferMBSize to match IndexWriterConfig (16MB), making index optimization
+ an optional boolean parameter, and modifying the incremental update logic
+ to work well with unoptimized spellcheck indexes. The indexDictionary() methods
+ were made final to ensure a hard backwards break in case you were subclassing
+ Spellchecker. In general, subclassing Spellchecker is not recommended. (Robert Muir)
+
+Changes in runtime behavior
+
+ * LUCENE-2117: SnowballAnalyzer uses TurkishLowerCaseFilter instead of
+ LowercaseFilter to correctly handle the unique Turkish casing behavior if
+ used with Version > 3.0 and the TurkishStemmer.
+ (Robert Muir via Simon Willnauer)
+
+ * LUCENE-2055: GermanAnalyzer now uses the Snowball German2 algorithm and
+ stopwords list by default for Version > 3.0.
+ (Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler, Simon Willnauer)
+
+Bug fixes
+
+ * LUCENE-2855: contrib queryparser was using CharSequence as key in some internal
+ Map instances, which was leading to incorrect behavior, since some CharSequence
+ implementors do not override hashcode and equals methods. Now the internal Maps
+ are using String instead. (Adriano Crestani)
+
+ * LUCENE-2068: Fixed ReverseStringFilter which was not aware of supplementary
+ characters. During reverse the filter created unpaired surrogates, which
+ will be replaced by U+FFFD by the indexer, but not at query time. The filter
+ now reverses supplementary characters correctly if used with Version > 3.0.
+ (Simon Willnauer, Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2035: TokenSources.getTokenStream() does not assign positionIncrement.
+ (Christopher Morris via Mark Miller)
+
+ * LUCENE-2055: Deprecated RussianTokenizer, RussianStemmer, RussianStemFilter,
+ FrenchStemmer, FrenchStemFilter, DutchStemmer, and DutchStemFilter. For
+ these Analyzers, SnowballFilter is used instead (for Version > 3.0), as
+ the previous code did not always implement the Snowball algorithm correctly.
+ Additionally, for Version > 3.0, the Snowball stopword lists are used by
+ default. (Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler, Simon Willnauer)
+
+ * LUCENE-2184: Fixed bug with handling best fit value when the proper best fit value is
+ not an indexed field. Note, this change affects the APIs. (Grant Ingersoll)
+
+ * LUCENE-2359: Fix bug in CartesianPolyFilterBuilder related to handling of behavior around
+ the 180th meridian (Grant Ingersoll)
+
+ * LUCENE-2404: Fix bugs with position increment and empty tokens in ThaiWordFilter.
+ For matchVersion >= 3.1 the filter also no longer lowercases. ThaiAnalyzer
+ will use a separate LowerCaseFilter instead. (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2615: Fix DirectIOLinuxDirectory to not assign bogus
+ permissions to newly created files, and to not silently hardwire
+ buffer size to 1 MB. (Mark Miller, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-2629: Fix gennorm2 task for generating ICUFoldingFilter's .nrm file. This allows
+ you to customize its normalization/folding, by editing the source data files in src/data
+ and regenerating a new .nrm with 'ant gennorm2'. (David Bowen via Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2653: ThaiWordFilter depends on the JRE having a Thai dictionary, which is not
+ always the case. If the dictionary is unavailable, the filter will now throw
+ UnsupportedOperationException in the constructor. (Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-589: Fix contrib/demo for international documents.
+ (Curtis d'Entremont via Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2246: Fix contrib/demo for Turkish html documents.
+ (Selim Nadi via Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-590: Demo HTML parser gives incorrect summaries when title is repeated as a heading
+ (Curtis d'Entremont via Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-591: The demo indexer now indexes meta keywords.
+ (Curtis d'Entremont via Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2874: Highlighting overlapping tokens outputted doubled words.
+ (Pierre Gossé via Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2943: Fix thread-safety issues with ICUCollationKeyFilter.
+ (Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-3087: Highlighter: fix case that was preventing highlighting
+ of exact phrase when tokens overlap. (Pierre Gossé via Mike
+ McCandless)
+
+API Changes
+
+ * LUCENE-2867: Some contrib queryparser methods that receives CharSequence as
+ identifier, such as QueryNode#unsetTag(CharSequence), were deprecated and
+ will be removed on version 4. (Adriano Crestani)
+
+ * LUCENE-2147: Spatial GeoHashUtils now always decode GeoHash strings
+ with full precision. GeoHash#decode_exactly(String) was merged into
+ GeoHash#decode(String). (Chris Male, Simon Willnauer)
+
+ * LUCENE-2204: Change some package private classes/members to publicly accessible to implement
+ custom FragmentsBuilders. (Koji Sekiguchi)
+
+ * LUCENE-2055: Integrate snowball into contrib/analyzers. SnowballAnalyzer is
+ now deprecated in favor of language-specific analyzers which contain things
+ such as stopword lists and any language-specific processing in addition to
+ stemming. Add Turkish and Romanian stopwords lists to support this.
+ (Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler, Simon Willnauer)
+
+ * LUCENE-2603: Add setMultiValuedSeparator(char) method to set an arbitrary
+ char that is used when concatenating multiValued data. Default is a space
+ (' '). It is applied on ANALYZED field only. (Koji Sekiguchi)
+
+ * LUCENE-2626: FastVectorHighlighter: enable FragListBuilder and FragmentsBuilder
+ to be set per-field override. (Koji Sekiguchi)
+
+ * LUCENE-2712: FieldBoostMapAttribute in contrib/queryparser was changed from
+ a Map<CharSequence,Float> to a Map<String,Float>. Per the CharSequence javadoc,
+ CharSequence is inappropriate as a map key. (Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-1937: Add more methods to manipulate QueryNodeProcessorPipeline elements.
+ QueryNodeProcessorPipeline now implements the List interface, this is useful
+ if you want to extend or modify an existing pipeline. (Adriano Crestani via Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2754, LUCENE-2757: Deprecated SpanRegexQuery. Use
+ new SpanMultiTermQueryWrapper<RegexQuery>(new RegexQuery()) instead.
+ (Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler)
+
+ * LUCENE-2747: Deprecated ArabicLetterTokenizer. StandardTokenizer now tokenizes
+ most languages correctly including Arabic. (Steven Rowe, Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2830: Use StringBuilder instead of StringBuffer across Benchmark, and
+ remove the StringBuffer HtmlParser.parse() variant. (Shai Erera)
+
+ * LUCENE-2920: Deprecated ShingleMatrixFilter as it is unmaintained and does
+ not work with custom Attributes or custom payload encoders. (Uwe Schindler)
+
+New features
+
+ * LUCENE-2500: Added DirectIOLinuxDirectory, a Linux-specific
+ Directory impl that uses the O_DIRECT flag to bypass the buffer
+ cache. This is useful to prevent segment merging from evicting
+ pages from the buffer cache, since fadvise/madvise do not seem.
+ (Michael McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-2306: Add NumericRangeFilter and NumericRangeQuery support to XMLQueryParser.
+ (Jingkei Ly, via Mark Harwood)
+
+ * LUCENE-2102: Add a Turkish LowerCase Filter. TurkishLowerCaseFilter handles
+ Turkish and Azeri unique casing behavior correctly.
+ (Ahmet Arslan, Robert Muir via Simon Willnauer)
+
+ * LUCENE-2039: Add a extensible query parser to contrib/misc.
+ ExtendableQueryParser enables arbitrary parser extensions based on a
+ customizable field naming scheme.
+ (Simon Willnauer)
+
+ * LUCENE-2067: Add a Czech light stemmer. CzechAnalyzer will now stem words
+ when Version is set to 3.1 or higher. (Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2062: Add a Bulgarian analyzer. (Robert Muir, Simon Willnauer)
+
+ * LUCENE-2206: Add Snowball's stopword lists for Danish, Dutch, English,
+ Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian, Russian, Spanish,
+ and Swedish. These can be loaded with WordListLoader.getSnowballWordSet.
+ (Robert Muir, Simon Willnauer)
+
+ * LUCENE-2243: Add DisjunctionMaxQuery support for FastVectorHighlighter.
+ (Koji Sekiguchi)
+
+ * LUCENE-2218: ShingleFilter supports minimum shingle size, and the separator
+ character is now configurable. Its also up to 20% faster.
+ (Steven Rowe via Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2234: Add a Hindi analyzer. (Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2055: Add analyzers/misc/StemmerOverrideFilter. This filter provides
+ the ability to override any stemmer with a custom dictionary map.
+ (Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler, Simon Willnauer)
+
+ * LUCENE-2399: Add ICUNormalizer2Filter, which normalizes tokens with ICU's
+ Normalizer2. This allows for efficient combinations of normalization and custom
+ mappings in addition to standard normalization, and normalization combined
+ with unicode case folding. (Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-1343: Add ICUFoldingFilter, a replacement for ASCIIFoldingFilter that
+ does a more thorough job of normalizing unicode text for search.
+ (Robert Haschart, Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2409: Add ICUTransformFilter, which transforms text in a context
+ sensitive way, either from ICU built-in rules (such as Traditional-Simplified),
+ or from rules you write yourself. (Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2414: Add ICUTokenizer, a tailorable tokenizer that implements Unicode
+ Text Segmentation. This tokenizer is useful for documents or collections with
+ multiple languages. The default configuration includes special support for
+ Thai, Lao, Myanmar, and Khmer. (Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler)
+
+ * LUCENE-2298: Add analyzers/stempel, an algorithmic stemmer with support for
+ the Polish language. (Andrzej Bialecki via Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2400: ShingleFilter was changed to don't output all-filler shingles and
+ unigrams, and uses a more performant algorithm to build grams using a linked list
+ of AttributeSource.cloneAttributes() instances and the new copyTo() method.
+ (Steven Rowe via Uwe Schindler)
+
+ * LUCENE-2437: Add an Analyzer for Indonesian. (Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2393: The HighFreqTerms tool (in misc) can now optionally
+ also include the total termFreq. (Tom Burton-West via Mike McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-2463: Add a Greek inflectional stemmer. GreekAnalyzer will now stem words
+ when Version is set to 3.1 or higher. (Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-1287: Allow usage of HyphenationCompoundWordTokenFilter without dictionary.
+ (Thomas Peuss via Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2464: FastVectorHighlighter: add SingleFragListBuilder to return
+ entire field contents. (Koji Sekiguchi)
+
+ * LUCENE-2503: Added lighter stemming alternatives for European languages.
+ (Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2581: FastVectorHighlighter: add Encoder to FragmentsBuilder.
+ (Koji Sekiguchi)
+
+ * LUCENE-2624: Add Analyzers for Armenian, Basque, and Catalan, from snowball.
+ (Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-1938: PrecedenceQueryParser is now implemented with the flexible QP framework.
+ This means that you can also add this functionality to your own QP pipeline by using
+ BooleanModifiersQueryNodeProcessor, for example instead of GroupQueryNodeProcessor.
+ (Adriano Crestani via Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2791: Added WindowsDirectory, a Windows-specific Directory impl
+ that doesn't synchronize on the file handle. This can be useful to
+ avoid the performance problems of SimpleFSDirectory and NIOFSDirectory.
+ (Robert Muir, Simon Willnauer, Uwe Schindler, Michael McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-2842: Add analyzer for Galician. Also adds the RSLP (Orengo) stemmer
+ for Portuguese. (Robert Muir)
+
+ * SOLR-1057: Add PathHierarchyTokenizer that represents file path hierarchies as synonyms of
+ /something, /something/something, /something/something/else. (Ryan McKinley, Koji Sekiguchi)
+
+Build
+
+ * LUCENE-2124: Moved the JDK-based collation support from contrib/collation
+ into core, and moved the ICU-based collation support into contrib/icu.
+ (Steven Rowe, Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2323: Moved contrib/regex into contrib/queries. Moved the
+ queryparsers under contrib/misc and contrib/surround into contrib/queryparser.
+ Moved contrib/fast-vector-highlighter into contrib/highlighter.
+ Moved ChainedFilter from contrib/misc to contrib/queries. contrib/spatial now
+ depends on contrib/queries instead of contrib/misc. (Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2333: Fix failures during contrib builds, when classes in
+ core were changed without ant clean. This fix also optimizes the
+ dependency management between contribs by a new ANT macro.
+ (Uwe Schindler, Shai Erera)
+
+ * LUCENE-2797: Upgrade contrib/icu's ICU jar file to ICU 4.6
+ (Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2833: Upgrade contrib/ant's jtidy jar file to r938 (Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2413: Moved the demo out of lucene core and into contrib/demo.
+ (Robert Muir)
+
+Optimizations
+
+ * LUCENE-2157: DelimitedPayloadTokenFilter no longer copies the buffer
+ over itsself. Instead it sets only the length. This patch also optimizes
+ the logic of the filter and uses NIO for IdentityEncoder. (Uwe Schindler)
+
+ * LUCENE-2084: Change IndexableBinaryStringTools to work on byte[] and char[]
+ directly, instead of Byte/CharBuffers, and modify ICUCollationKeyFilter to
+ take advantage of this for faster performance.
+ (Steven Rowe, Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2194, LUCENE-2201, LUCENE-2288: Snowball stemmers in contrib/analyzers
+ have been optimized to work on char[] and remove unnecessary object creation.
+ (Shai Erera, Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2404: Improve performance of ThaiWordFilter by using a char[]-backed
+ CharacterIterator (currently from javax.swing). (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
+
+Test Cases
+
+ * LUCENE-2115: Cutover contrib tests to use Java5 generics. (Kay Kay
+ via Mike McCandless)
+
+Other
+
+ * LUCENE-1845: Updated bdb-je jar from version 3.3.69 to 3.3.93.
+ (Simon Willnauer via Mike McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-2415: Use reflection instead of a shim class to access Jakarta
+ Regex prefix. (Uwe Schindler)
+
+================== Release 2.9.4 / 3.0.3 ====================
+
+Bug Fixes
+
+ * LUCENE-2277: QueryNodeImpl threw ConcurrentModificationException on
+ add(List<QueryNode>). (Frank Wesemann via Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2284: MatchAllDocsQueryNode toString() created an invalid XML tag.
+ (Frank Wesemann via Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2278: FastVectorHighlighter: Highlighted term is out of alignment

+
+ * LUCENE-2524: FastVectorHighlighter: use mod for getting colored tag.
+ (Koji Sekiguchi)
+
+ * LUCENE-2616: FastVectorHighlighter: out of alignment when the first value is
+ empty in multiValued field (Koji Sekiguchi)
+
+ * LUCENE-2731, LUCENE-2732: Fix (charset) problems in XML loading in
+ HyphenationCompoundWordTokenFilter (partial bugfix-only in 2.9 and 3.0,
+ full fix will be in later 3.1).
+ (Uwe Schinder)
+
+Documentation
+
+ * LUCENE-2055: Add documentation noting that the Dutch and French stemmers
+ in contrib/analyzers do not implement the Snowball algorithm correctly,
+ and recommend to use the equivalents in contrib/snowball if possible.
+ (Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler, Simon Willnauer)
+
+ * LUCENE-2653: Add documentation noting that ThaiWordFilter will not work
+ as expected on all JRE's. For example, on an IBM JRE, it does nothing.
+ (Robert Muir)
+
+================== Release 2.9.3 / 3.0.2 ====================
+
+No changes.
+
+================== Release 2.9.2 / 3.0.1 ====================
+
+New features
+
+ * LUCENE-2108: Spellchecker now safely supports concurrent modifications to
+ the spell-index. Threads can safely obtain term suggestions while the spell-
+ index is rebuild, cleared or reset. Internal IndexSearcher instances remain
+ open until the last thread accessing them releases the reference.
+ (Simon Willnauer)
+
+Bug Fixes
+
+ * LUCENE-2144: Fix InstantiatedIndex to handle termDocs(null)
+ correctly (enumerate all non-deleted docs). (Karl Wettin via Mike
+ McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-2199: ShingleFilter skipped over tri-gram shingles if outputUnigram
+ was set to false. (Simon Willnauer)
+
+ * LUCENE-2211: Fix missing clearAttributes() calls:
+ ShingleMatrix, PrefixAware, compounds, NGramTokenFilter,
+ EdgeNGramTokenFilter, Highlighter, and MemoryIndex.
+ (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2207, LUCENE-2219: Fix incorrect offset calculations in end() for
+ CJKTokenizer, ChineseTokenizer, SmartChinese SentenceTokenizer,
+ and WikipediaTokenizer. (Koji Sekiguchi, Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2266: Fixed offset calculations in NGramTokenFilter and
+ EdgeNGramTokenFilter. (Joe Calderon, Robert Muir via Uwe Schindler)
+
+API Changes
+
+ * LUCENE-2108: Add SpellChecker.close, to close the underlying
+ reader. (Eirik Bjørsnøs via Mike McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-2165: Add a constructor to SnowballAnalyzer that takes a Set of
+ stopwords, and deprecate the String[] one. (Nick Burch via Robert Muir)
+
+======================= Release 3.0.0 =======================
+
+Changes in backwards compatibility policy
+
+ * LUCENE-1257: Change some occurences of StringBuffer in public/protected
+ APIs of contrib/surround to StringBuilder.
+ (Paul Elschot via Uwe Schindler)
+
+Changes in runtime behavior
+
+ * LUCENE-1966: Modified and cleaned the default Arabic stopwords list used
+ by ArabicAnalyzer. You'll need to fully re-index any previously created
+ indexes. (Basem Narmok via Robert Muir)
+
+API Changes
+
+ * LUCENE-1936: Deprecated RussianLowerCaseFilter, because it transforms
+ text exactly the same as LowerCaseFilter. Please use LowerCaseFilter
+ instead, which has the same functionality. (Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2051: Contrib Analyzer setters were deprecated and replaced
+ with ctor arguments / Version number. Also stop word lists
+ were unified. (Simon Willnauer)
+
+Bug fixes
+
+ * LUCENE-1781: Fixed various issues with the lat/lng bounding box
+ distance filter created for radius search in contrib/spatial.
+ (Bill Bell via Mike McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-1939: IndexOutOfBoundsException at ShingleMatrixFilter's
+ Iterator#hasNext method on exhausted streams.
+ (Patrick Jungermann via Karl Wettin)
+
+ * LUCENE-1359: French analyzer did not support null field names.
+ (Andrew Lynch via Robert Muir)
+
+New features
+
+ * LUCENE-1924: Added BalancedSegmentMergePolicy to contrib/misc,
+ which is a merge policy that tries to avoid doing very large
+ segment merges to give better search performance in a mixed
+ indexing/searching environment. (John Wang via Mike McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-1959: Add index splitting tools. The IndexSplitter tool works
+ on multi-segment (non optimized) indexes and it can copy specific
+ segments out of the index into a new index. It can also list the
+ segments in the index, and delete specified segments. (Jason Rutherglen via
+ Mike McCandless). MultiPassIndexSplitter can split any index into
+ any number of output parts, at the cost of doing multiple passes over
+ the input index. (Andrzej Bialecki)
+
+ * LUCENE-1993: Add maxDocFreq setting to MoreLikeThis, to exclude
+ from consideration terms that match more than the specified number
+ of documents. (Christian Steinert via Mike McCandless)
+
+Optimizations
+
+ * LUCENE-1965, LUCENE-1962: Arabic-, Persian- and SmartChineseAnalyzer
+ loads default stopwords only once if accessed for the first time.
+ Previous versions were loading the stopword files each time a new
+ instance was created. This might improve performance for applications
+ creating lots of instances of these Analyzers. (Simon Willnauer)
+
+Documentation
+
+ * LUCENE-1916: Translated documentation in the smartcn hhmm package.
+ (Patricia Peng via Robert Muir)
+
+Build
+
+ * LUCENE-1904: Moved wordnet-based synonym support from contrib/memory
+ into contrib/wordnet. (Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2031: Moved PatternAnalyzer from contrib/memory into
+ contrib/analyzers/common, under miscellaneous. (Robert Muir)
+
+======================= Release 2.9.1 =======================
+
+Changes in backwards compatibility policy
+
+ * LUCENE-2002: Add required Version matchVersion argument when
+ constructing ComplexPhraseQueryParser and default (as of 2.9)
+ enablePositionIncrements to true to match StandardAnalyzer's
+ default. Also added required matchVersion to most of the analyzers
+ (Uwe Schindler, Mike McCandless)
+
+Changes in runtime behavior
+
+ * LUCENE-1963: ArabicAnalyzer now lowercases before checking the stopword
+ list. This has no effect on Arabic text, but if you are using a custom
+ stopword list that contains some non-Arabic words, you'll need to fully
+ reindex. (DM Smith via Robert Muir)
+
+Bug fixes
+
+ * LUCENE-1953: FastVectorHighlighter: small fragCharSize can cause
+ StringIndexOutOfBoundsException. (Koji Sekiguchi)
+
+ * LUCENE-1929: Highlighter throws exception on NumericRangeQuery and does not
+ support deprecated RangeQuery. (Mark Miller)
+
+ * LUCENE-2001: Wordnet Syns2Index incorrectly parses synonyms that
+ contain a single quote. (Parag H. Dave via Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-2003: Highlighter doesn't respect position increments other than 1 with
+ PhraseQuerys. (Uwe Schindler, Mark Miller)
+
+ * LUCENE-1954: InstantiatedIndexWriter: Fixed ClassCastException with
+ NumericField because of incorrect unchecked cast: Document.getFields()
+ returns List<Fieldable>. (Bernd Fondermann via Uwe Schindler)
+
+ * LUCENE-2014: SmartChineseAnalyzer did not properly clear attributes
+ in WordTokenFilter. If enablePositionIncrements is set for StopFilter,
+ then this could create invalid position increments, causing IndexWriter
+ to crash. (Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler)
+
+ * LUCENE-2013: SpanRegexQuery does not work with QueryScorer.
+ (Benjamin Keil via Mark Miller)
+
+======================= Release 2.9.0 =======================
+
+Changes in runtime behavior
+
+ * LUCENE-1505: Local lucene now uses org.apache.lucene.util.NumericUtils for all
+ number conversion. You'll need to fully re-index any previously created indexes.
+ This isn't a break in back-compatibility because local Lucene has not yet
+ been released. (Mike McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-1758: ArabicAnalyzer now uses the light10 algorithm, has a refined
+ default stopword list, and lowercases non-Arabic text.
+ You'll need to fully re-index any previously created indexes. This isn't a
+ break in back-compatibility because ArabicAnalyzer has not yet been
+ released. (Robert Muir)
+
+
+API Changes
+
+ * LUCENE-1695: Update the Highlighter to use the new TokenStream API. This issue breaks backwards
+ compatibility with some public classes. If you have implemented custom Fragmenters or Scorers,
+ you will need to adjust them to work with the new TokenStream API. Rather than getting passed a
+ Token at a time, you will be given a TokenStream to init your impl with - store the Attributes
+ you are interested in locally and access them on each call to the method that used to pass a new
+ Token. Look at the included updated impls for examples. (Mark Miller)
+
+ * LUCENE-1460: Change contrib TokenStreams/Filters to use the new
+ TokenStream API. (Robert Muir, Michael Busch)
+
+ * LUCENE-1775, LUCENE-1903: Change remaining TokenFilters (shingle, prefix-suffix)
+ to use the new TokenStream API. ShingleFilter is much more efficient now,
+ it clones much less often and computes the tokens mostly on the fly now.
+ Also added more tests. (Robert Muir, Michael Busch, Uwe Schindler, Chris Harris)
+
+ * LUCENE-1685: The position aware SpanScorer has become the default scorer
+ for Highlighting. The SpanScorer implementation has replaced QueryScorer
+ and the old term highlighting QueryScorer has been renamed to
+ QueryTermScorer. Multi-term queries are also now expanded by default. If
+ you were previously rewriting the query for multi-term query highlighting,
+ you should no longer do that (unless you switch to using QueryTermScorer).
+ The SpanScorer API (now QueryScorer) has also been improved to more closely
+ match the API of the previous QueryScorer implementation. (Mark Miller)
+
+ * LUCENE-1793: Deprecate the custom encoding support in the Greek and Russian
+ Analyzers. If you need to index text in these encodings, please use Java's
+ character set conversion facilities (InputStreamReader, etc) during I/O,
+ so that Lucene can analyze this text as Unicode instead. (Robert Muir)
+
+Bug fixes
+
+ * LUCENE-1423: InstantiatedTermEnum#skipTo(Term) throws ArrayIndexOutOfBounds on empty index.
+ (Karl Wettin)
+
+ * LUCENE-1462: InstantiatedIndexWriter did not reset pre analyzed TokenStreams the
+ same way IndexWriter does. Parts of InstantiatedIndex was not Serializable.
+ (Karl Wettin)
+
+ * LUCENE-1510: InstantiatedIndexReader#norms methods throws NullPointerException on empty index.
+ (Karl Wettin, Robert Newson)
+
+ * LUCENE-1514: ShingleMatrixFilter#next(Token) easily throws a StackOverflowException
+ due to recursive invocation. (Karl Wettin)
+
+ * LUCENE-1548: Fix distance normalization in LevenshteinDistance to
+ not produce negative distances (Thomas Morton via Mike McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-1490: Fix latin1 conversion of HALFWIDTH_AND_FULLWIDTH_FORMS
+ characters to only apply to the correct subset (Daniel Cheng via
+ Mike McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-1576: Fix BrazilianAnalyzer to downcase tokens after
+ StandardTokenizer so that stop words with mixed case are filtered
+ out. (Rafael Cunha de Almeida, Douglas Campos via Mike McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-1491: EdgeNGramTokenFilter no longer stops on tokens shorter than minimum n-gram size.
+ (Todd Teak via Otis Gospodnetic)
+
+ * LUCENE-1683: Fixed JavaUtilRegexCapabilities (an impl used by
+ RegexQuery) to use Matcher.matches() not Matcher.lookingAt() so
+ that the regexp must match the entire string, not just a prefix.
+ (Trejkaz via Mike McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-1792: Fix new query parser to set rewrite method for
+ multi-term queries. (Luis Alves, Mike McCandless via Michael Busch)
+
+ * LUCENE-1828: Fix memory index to call TokenStream.reset() and
+ TokenStream.end(). (Tim Smith via Michael Busch)
+
+ * LUCENE-1912: Fix fast-vector-highlighter issue when two or more
+ terms are concatenated (Koji Sekiguchi via Mike McCandless)
+
+New features
+
+ * LUCENE-1531: Added support for BoostingTermQuery to XML query parser. (Karl Wettin)
+
+ * LUCENE-1435: Added contrib/collation, a CollationKeyFilter
+ allowing you to convert tokens into CollationKeys encoded using
+ IndexableBinaryStringTools. This allows for faster RangeQuery when
+ a field needs to use a custom Collator. (Steven Rowe via Mike
+ McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-1591: EnWikiDocMaker, LineDocMaker, WriteLineDoc can now
+ read/write bz2 using Apache commons compress library. This means
+ you can download the .bz2 export from http://wikipedia.org and
+ immediately index it. (Shai Erera via Mike McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-1629: Add SmartChineseAnalyzer to contrib/analyzers. It
+ improves on CJKAnalyzer and ChineseAnalyzer by handling Chinese
+ sentences properly. SmartChineseAnalyzer uses a Hidden Markov
+ Model to tokenize Chinese words in a more intelligent way.
+ (Xiaoping Gao via Mike McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-1676: Added DelimitedPayloadTokenFilter class for automatically adding payloads "in-stream" (Grant Ingersoll)
+
+ * LUCENE-1578: Support for loading unoptimized readers to the
+ constructor of InstantiatedIndex. (Karl Wettin)
+
+ * LUCENE-1704: Allow specifying the Tidy configuration file when
+ parsing HTML docs with contrib/ant. (Keith Sprochi via Mike
+ McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-1522: Added contrib/fast-vector-highlighter, a new alternative
+ highlighter. (Koji Sekiguchi via Mike McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-1740: Added "analyzer" command to Lucli, enabling changing
+ the analyzer from the default StandardAnalyzer. (Bernd Fondermann
+ via Mike McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-1272: Add get/setBoost to MoreLikeThis. (Jonathan
+ Leibiusky via Mike McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-1745: Added constructors to JakartaRegexpCapabilities and
+ JavaUtilRegexCapabilities as well as static flags to support
+ configuring a RegexCapabilities implementation with the
+ implementation-specific modifier flags. Allows for callers to
+ customize the RegexQuery using the implementation-specific options
+ and fine tune how regular expressions are compiled and
+ matched. (Marc Zampetti zampettim@aim.com via Mike McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-1567: Added a new QueryParser framework, that allows
+ implementing a new query syntax in a flexible and efficient way.
+ This new QueryParser will be moved to Lucene's core in release
+ 3.0 and will then replace the current core QueryParser, which
+ has been deprecated with this patch.
+ (Luis Alves and Adriano Campos via Michael Busch)
+
+ * LUCENE-1486: Added ComplexPhraseQueryParser, an extension of QueryParser
+ that allows a subset of the Lucene query language to be embedded in
+ PhraseQuerys. Wildcard, Range, and Fuzzy queries, as well as limited
+ boolean logic, can be used within quote operators with this parser, ie:
+ "(jo* -john) smyth~". (Mark Harwood via Mark Miller)
+
+ * Added web-based demo of functionality in contrib's XML Query Parser
+ packaged as War file (Mark Harwood)
+
+ * LUCENE-1406: Added Arabic analyzer. (Robert Muir via Grant Ingersoll)
+
+ * LUCENE-1628: Added Persian analyzer. (Robert Muir)
+
+ * LUCENE-1813: Add option to ReverseStringFilter to mark reversed tokens.
+ (Andrzej Bialecki via Robert Muir)
+
+Optimizations
+
+ * LUCENE-1643: Re-use the collation key (RawCollationKey) for
+ better performance, in ICUCollationKeyFilter. (Robert Muir via
+ Mike McCandless)
+
+ * LUCENE-1794: Implement TokenStream reuse for contrib Analyzers,
+ and implement reset() for TokenStreams to support reuse. (Robert Muir)
+
+Documentation
+
+ * LUCENE-1876: added missing package level documentation for numerous
+ contrib packages.
+ (Steven Rowe & Robert Muir)
+
+Build
+
+ * LUCENE-1728: Split contrib/analyzers into common and smartcn modules.
+ Contrib/analyzers now builds an additional lucene-smartcn Jar file. All
+ smartcn classes are not included in the lucene-analyzers JAR file.
+ (Robert Muir via Simon Willnauer)
+
+ * LUCENE-1829: Fix contrib query parser to properly create javacc files.
+ (Jan-Pascal and Luis Alves via Michael Busch)
