2013-07 Status Report for the Apache Lucy project The Apache Lucy search engine library provides full-text search for dynamic programming languages. It is a "loose" C port of the Apache Lucene search engine library for Java. ISSUES There are no Board-level issues at this time. RELEASES No releases in the last quarter. The latest release is version 0.3.2 from 10 Jul 2012. We're working towards a new major release featuring C bindings, support for compiled extensions, and Clownfish as a separate product. Clownfish is the object system which Lucy is based on. ACTIVITY Development * The C bindings are finished. Only the documentation needs some work. * Support for compiled extensions written in C was improved. * The code base of Clownfish was isolated from Lucy so it can be released as a separate product. * There's ongoing work to make Clownfish modules ABI-compatible if methods or instance variables are added or reordered. Mailing lists Judging by the number of messages, participation in the developer mailing list has increased from last quarter and is only slightly below the long-term average. Traffic on the user list was low but all questions were answered. COMMITTER/PMC CHANGES No new committers in the last quarter. The last addition was on 15 Feb 2013. No new PMC members in the last quarter and since Lucy graduated from the incubator in March 2012.
