## 24 March 2020, Apache Solr=E2=84=A2 8.5.0 available

The Lucene PMC is pleased to announce the release of Apache Solr 8.5.0.

Solr is the popular, blazing fast, open source NoSQL search platform =
from the Apache Lucene project. Its major features include powerful =
full-text search, hit highlighting, faceted search, dynamic clustering, =
database integration, rich document handling, and geospatial search. =
Solr is highly scalable, providing fault tolerant distributed search and =
indexing, and powers the search and navigation features of many of the =
world's largest internet sites.

Solr 8.5.0 is available for immediate download at:

  <https://lucene.apache.org/solr/downloads.html>

### Solr 8.5.0 Release Highlights:

 * A new queries property of JSON Request API let to declare queries in =
Query DSL format and refer to them by their names.
 * A new command line tool bin/postlogs allows you to index Solr logs =
into a Solr collection. This is helpful for log analysis and =
troubleshooting. Documentation is not yet integrated into the Solr =
Reference Guide, but is available in a branch via GitHub: =
https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/visual-guide/solr/solr-ref-guid=
e/src/logs.adoc.
 * A new stream decorator delete() is available to help solve some =
issues with traditional delete-by-query, which can be expensive in large =
indexes.
 * Solr now has the ability to run with a Java Security Manager enabled.
