Lucene 7.5.0 Release Highlights:

• IndexWriter#deleteDocs(Query... query) applies deletes to wrong documents if the index is sorted.
• TieredMergePolicy now respects maxSegmentSizeMB by default when executing findForcedMerges and findForcedDeletesMerges.
• A new points based Shape Indexing and Searching that decomposes shapes into a triangular mesh and indexes individual triangles as a 6 dimension point.
• A new ByteBuffer based Directory implementation that aims to replace the deprecated RAMDirectory.
• The UnifiedHighlighter can now use the MatchesIterator API to highlight any query more accurately.
• TopFieldComparator can now stop comparing documents if the index is sorted, even if hits still need to be visited to compute the hit count.
• TieredMergePolicy can control how aggressively deletes should be reclaimed with the new deletesPctAllowed setting.
