[hibernate-dev] Hibernate Search 3.0.0.Beta4

[Emmanuel Bernard]

Hibernate Search has a new beta out and comes with a bunch of  
interesting new features:
  - Named filters: query result filter (transparently cacheable)
  - Automatic index optimization
  - Access to query metadata (Score, ...)
  - Support for the Java Persistence API
  - Index sharding (indexing an entity into several underlying Lucene  
indexes)

and a few more, check out http://blog.hibernate.org/cgi-bin/ 
blosxom.cgi/2007/08/01#hsearch300beta4 for more info. The download  
page is http://www.hibernate.org/6.html

Many thanks to John Griffin and Hardy Ferentschik for stepping up on  
this release. The feature set is up to what was envisioned for the  
final release and has proven fairly stable. We expect a short CR  
cycle and the GA soon after.
