Hibernate Search 3.0.0.CR1 is now out. This release is mainly the last bits of new features and polishing before the final version. The next cycle will be dedicated to bug fixes (of any bug that pops up), as well as test suite and documentation improvements. Thanks to Hardy for the new getting started section (this should ease the path for newcomers), and to John for hammering the last features we wanted in the GA version. Check the changelogs (http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/ hibernate/browse/HSEARCH? report=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project:changelog-panel) for a detailed change list. Emmanuel
