Lucene 6.1.0 Release Highlights:

New features

• Numerous improvements to LatLonPoint, for indexing a latitude/longitude point and searching by polygon, distance or box, or finding nearest neighbors

• Geo3D now has simple APIs for creating common shape queries, matching LatLonPoint

Optimizations

• Faster indexing and searching of points.

• Faster geo-spatial indexing and searching for LatLonPoint, Geo3D and GeoPoint (see http://home.apache.org/~mikemccand/geobench.html )

• HardlinkCopyDirectoryWrapper optimizes file copies using hard links

• In case of contention, the query cache now prefers returning an uncached Scorer rather than waiting on a lock.

Bug fixes

• BooleanQuery could sometimes assign too low scores to ranges of documents that matched a single clause.

• Doc values updates could sometimes be applied in the wrong order.
