Lucene AppEngine 4.2.1 is out!

I'm glad to announce the release of new versions of Lucene AppEngine project.
What's new in LAE project:
  • Released LAE-4.2.0 as stable with performance improvements and memcache support
  • Released LAE-4.2.1-SNAPSHOT compatible with Lucene 4.2.1;
  • All released libraries available into maven repository, see project home page for details;

What's new in LAE examples and in Live Demo:
  • Aligned LAE Examples to latest LAE 4.2.1-SNAPSHOT version;
  • Live Demo up and running with latest LAE 4.2.1-SNAPSHOT version.

A new note is out for the simplified configuration of LAE. Add into your appengine-web.xml:

    
        
    

WARNING: If you are using a SNAPSHOT version of LAE using Maven, you must add the specific jar name of the snapshot, you can see the specific jar name typing on command line:
    mvn clean package && ls -lR target/ | grep lucene-appengine
The snapshot jar name can change with every SNAPSHOT release so if you are falling into the "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: sun.misc.Unsafe is a restricted class" error check the version of the jar.

Enjoy!
