The Lucene PMC is pleased to announce the release of Apache Solr 5.3.1


Solr is the popular, blazing fast, open source NoSQL search platform

from the Apache Lucene project. Its major features include powerful

full-text search, hit highlighting, faceted search, dynamic

clustering, database integration, rich document (e.g., Word, PDF)

handling, and geospatial search. Solr is highly scalable, providing

fault tolerant distributed search and indexing, and powers the search

and navigation features of many of the world's largest internet sites.


This release contains various bug fixes and optimizations since the
5.3.0 release. The release is available for immediate download at:

'web' mode

* SolrJ could not make requests to handlers with '/admin/' prefix

* Use of timeAllowed can cause incomplete filters to be cached and
incorrect results to be returned on subsequent requests

* VelocityResponseWriter's $resource.get(key,baseName,locale) to use
specified locale.

* Fix the exclusion filter so that collections that start with js,
css, img, tpl can be accessed.

* Resolve XSS issue in Admin UI stats page


Known issues:

* On Windows, bin/solr.cmd script fails to start correctly when using
