Progress on EAR#3 for Solr 4.x Deep Dive - maybe tonight, maybe not

I'm getting close, but not sure if I'll be finished with Early Access Release #3 of my book Solr 4.x Deep Dive tonight. We'll see. If not tonight, then likely by noon on Friday.

 

Right now I'm laboriously sifting through the details of the changes in Solr 4.xx for the Norwegian language token filters. There are changes to two of the existing filters and the addition of two new filters for Scandinavian languages in general.

 

After that, there is a new parameter for CSV Update in Solr 4.4 that needs to be described and needs an example.

 

There will still be a number of Solr 4.4 changes that won't make it into this EAR, but that's life on a schedule.

 

Solr 4.4 had an RC0 ready to go, but I found a problem and had to vote -1 on it. They were going to spin a new RC tonight, but then another problem was discovered. Sounds like maybe next week 4.4 will hit the streets.
