Apache Lucene 8.8.1 Released – New Features and Fixes

Apache Lucene 8.8.1 has been released. Lucene is a fully Java‑written, high‑performance, feature‑complete full‑text search engine framework that provides a complete query engine, indexing engine, and partial text analysis capabilities. Its purpose is to give developers a simple, easy‑to‑use toolkit for implementing full‑text search in target systems or building a complete search engine on top of it.

This version mainly fixes a number of bugs introduced since 8.8.0 and includes other optimizations and improvements, although the changelog does not yet list the updates.

Key new features introduced in 8.8.0 include:

LatLonPoint queries now support spatial relationships.

Doc values can now be configured to balance compression and retrieval speed.

FeatureField supports newLinearQuery, which scores using the raw indexed feature value without any transformation.
