CKAN v2.9.5 Release Notes

Release Date: 2022-01-19 // about 2 years ago

  • Major features

    • 👍 Solr 8 support. Starting from version 2.9.5, CKAN supports Solr versions 6 and 8. Support for Solr 6 will be dropped in the next CKAN minor version (2.10). Note that if you want to use Solr 8 you need to use the ckan/config/solr/schema.solr8.xml file, or alternatively you can use the ckan/ckan-solr:2.9-solr8 Docker image which comes pre-configured.
