BTW, I think there's a newer version of Lucene that I can't get, my version is 1.4.3 and I didn't find any newer version at the site. For example, the QueryParser in my version doesn't care with term position and I had to override it by myself to support this. You may be referring to the CVS version, but I want to release my app. with a stable version.
For the record, Subversion trunk (no longer CVS) is stable and being used in many production projects already.
The only difference between Subversion trunk and a released version is the time and effort someone has taken to build it, package it, sign it, and upload it (and of course a consensus vote authorizing it). While I know that many environments demand that such blessing has occurred, I cannot say that I altogether understand it. I much prefer, personally, to be on the trunk and know that any issues I do happen to encounter can be easily reported, likely fixed if identified specifically enough, fixed, and integrated back into my projects right away.
I certainly do feel a bit bad that I'm not personally being aggressive about pushing a new release, but please don't let my insane schedule hold you back from using the latest and best version of Lucene.
