Re: [VuFind-Tech] Upgrade to Solr 1.4

[Andrew N. <as...@gm...>]

This begs the question - how often should we upgrade Solr in VuFind?  Solr
only makes labeled releases about once a year.  Should we upgrade solr in
vufind with each vufind release?  Only upgrade when necessary?  Only upgrade
to official releases?

Im leaning towards upgrading solr in vufind with each vufind release to the
latest Solr release.  Stay on the bleeding edge.
