No it just means:
A query like "[blu TO *]" is working and maps to
TermRangeQuery.newStringRange(...,"blu",null,...), which is a half open
range. Before you had to do this yourself in the
newRangeQuery/getRangeQuery method (and you still need to do this for
fields that are Numeric unless you use the new flxible query parser in
contrib, which knows the existence of numeric fields since 3.4 or like
so).
The conventional wildcard syntax does not change.
