[ANN] Sunspot 1.3.0

[Andy Lindeman]

Hi all!

sunspot, sunspot_rails, and sunspot_solr 1.3.0 have been released!
Thanks to all the contributors!

Sunspot is a Ruby library for expressive, powerful interaction with
the Apache Solr search engine.

Changes are listed in the History.txt files of each gem:
<https://raw.github.com/sunspot/sunspot/v1.3.0/sunspot/History.txt>
and <https://raw.github.com/sunspot/sunspot/v1.3.0/sunspot_rails/History.txt>

Highlights of the new release are:
* Bundled Solr server is now split to a separate gem, sunspot_solr. If
you want to use the bundled Solr install (e.g., for development), make
sure to add gem 'sunspot_solr' to your Gemfile.
* Pagination is supported under both will_pagination and kaminari and
no longer has a hard dependency on will_paginate.
* Unicode characters are correctly returned from stored fields and
facet row values.
* The HTTP POST verb is used to prevent errors where the request size
was too large for GET.
* Documentation improvements were made to the README and API docs
<https://github.com/sunspot/sunspot/blob/v1.3.0/README.md> and
<http://sunspot.github.com/sunspot/docs/>.

Other notable changes:
* Many deprecation warnings have been squashed.
* Namespaced models are correctly handled by the sunspot:reindex rake task.
* Solr request performance is instrumented in Rails.
* Reindexing tasks display a progress bar if the progress_bar gem is available.

Features slated for future releases:
* Field collapsing/result grouping
* Advanced geospatial support (native to Solr)
* Upgraded bundled Solr installation (probably 3.3 + multicore)
* Other fixes/features listed in <http://github.com/sunspot/sunspot/issues>

Finally, if you're interested in contributing to Sunspot, let the list
know. We'd be happy to do a code walkthrough or suggest features you
could tackle.

Whoops! Of course I meant Solr 3.5.0 (or whatever is the current
version when this is implemented).

WOOT!

Any upgrading tips? I'm running with 1.2.rc4 at the moment..

There shouldn't be any breaking changes, except that the packaged Solr
server is a separate gem now (if you use rake
sunspot:solr:{start,run,stop} for development, pull in the
sunspot_solr gem in addition to sunspot/sunspot_rails).

If you run into anything unexpected, though, post here or on GitHub Issues.

Thanks!

Great stuff everyone, thanks so much for your work on this. We're
still stuck on Sunspot 1.1 because the precision provided by >= 1.2
does not work well for our application. If there's anything we can do
to help with "Advanced geospatial support (native to Solr)" let me
know.

Best,
Michael GUterl

I just updated the sunspot_solr code to use solr 3.5.0:
https://github.com/mrcsparker/sunspot/sunspot_solr

Should make it easier to test in your local development environment.

Hi Folks:

Has anyone hacked up a way to do result grouping w/sunspot since it's
currently not supported?

Thanks,

Raphael

Until grouping is supported in the dsl, couldn't we use adjust_solr_params at query time? In the coming weeks I'll need result grouping as well.

Unfortunately results come back from Solr is a different hierarchy. So
when you call #hits or #results, you won't get what you expect.

If you guys want field grouping, could you review my pull request?
<https://github.com/sunspot/sunspot/pull/136>

Looking for comments about the DSL, the code, etc...
