Lucene 7.5.0 Release Highlights:

Bug Fixes
IndexWriter#deleteDocs(Query... query) applies deletes to wrong documents
if the index is sorted.

Changes in Runtime behavior
TieredMergePolicy now respects maxSegmentSizeMB by default when
executing findForcedMerges and findForcedDeletesMerges.

Improvements
A new points based Shape Indexing and Searching that decomposes shapes
into a triangular mesh and indexes individual triangles as a 6 dimension
point.
A new ByteBuffer based Directory implementation that aims to replace the
deprecated RAMDirectory.
The UnifiedHighlighter can now use the MatchesIterator API to highlight
any query more accurately.
TopFieldComparator can now stop comparing documents if the index is
sorted, even if hits still need to be visited to compute the hit count.
TieredMergePolicy can control how aggressively deletes should be
reclaimed with the new deletesPctAllowed setting.
