Error when deleting documents

[iglimanaj]

The delete function throws the following error when the id contains at least one & symbol:

SolrError: Solr responded with an error (HTTP 500): [Reason: [com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxLazyException] Unexpected character ' ' (code 32) (missing name?)
 at [row,col {unknown-source}]: [1,19]]

When using the current state of the pysolr.py module the error seems due to the latest commit https://github.com/django-haystack/pysolr/commit/b48eabda2ac592836aa576c7ad3181963f9784d9 to not occur. However after installing pysolr with pip these changes are not present, even though the latest release 3.9.0 was published after the mentioned commit.

When is the new release coming?

I think #358 fixes this.

A workaround until they build the next release:

pip install git+https://github.com/django-haystack/pysolr/
