Is there a new release for pysolr?

[lyle-w]

I saw a commit https://github.com/django-haystack/pysolr/commit/f6169e9681b95c23d04829c5c0102480382e8ea6 to support customized session has been merged to master branch, however, no new release after that, May I know is there a plan for a new release for the package?

I am interested in the new release as well. It would solve https://github.com/django-haystack/pysolr/issues/368 too :)

Also looking forward to the next release.

A workaround until then is to:

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

The thing we could most use help with is testing — I am currently not supporting a project which uses pysolr and my spare time is extremely limited these days. We also have a slowdown now that travis-ci.org shut down and I need time to convert it to GitHub Actions.

I just tagged v3.10.0b0 — if anyone watching this has time to help test that, I can cut a release:

https://pypi.org/project/pysolr/3.10.0b0/

thx - I'll start testing in our application; but we're only using python for the ETL/Indexing/Ingest side.

Hey @acdha, I'm interested in using this pr https://github.com/django-haystack/pysolr/pull/374/files as I want to do partial update using JSON, it's already merged to master but there is no release or tag so if it would be possible to have a release or at least tag soon, that would be great

@acdha Hey Chris, pysolr is a package I use extensively in my day to day. How would one get started with assisting in terms of testing? I have a technical background but sadly I'm out of my depth when it comes to testing and collaborating on a project such as pysolr. I also have a server infrastructure at home if that can be useful in the testing process.

There are tags and releases available for testing but they're marked as betas:

https://pypi.org/project/pysolr/3.10.0b1/

That keeps a simple pip install pysolr from picking them up but pip install pysolr==3.10.0b1 will work. I was hoping for someone to report positive results before cutting a release since my time to support pysolr is extremely limited these days.

Hey @acdha is there a list of things that needs checking to ensure that things are in top order, like a check-list of items to verify works? I can spend some time over this weekend testing them out.

Any new thoughts about releasing after the long silence?

[acdha]

You're right, this is long overdue. pysolr really needs a more active maintainer.

I just cut https://pypi.org/project/pysolr/3.10.0b2/ with the changes since b1. If I don't hear any problems reported in the discussions I'll publish v3.10.0 next week:

3.10.0b2 looks good to me!
