<p>
This release has many improvements since release 2.3.2, including:
<ul>
<li> New InstantiatedIndex (contrib/instantiated): RAM-based index that
enables much faster searching than RAMDirectory. </li>
<li> New IndexWriter constructors now default autoCommit to false. </li>
<li> New commit() method in IndexWriter lets you control when changes
are made visible and permanent in the index. </li>
<li> A machine or OS crash, or power loss, while IndexWriter is writing
to an index will no longer corrupt the index. </li>
<li> TimeLimitedCollector adds timeout to searches. </li>
<li> Delete documents by Query in IndexWriter. </li>
<li> Pure boolean indexing (no frequency, positions nor payloads are
indexed) using Field.setOmitTf(). </li>
<li> A new Directory implementation, NIOFSDirectory,
using java.nio's APIs to allow multiple threads to
read from the same open file without locking. </li>
<li> IndexWriter.expungeDeletes() reclaims disk space
from deleted documents by merging away segments
that have deletions. </li>
<li> All filters now return a DocIdSet instead of
java.util.BitSet, making filters more efficient and
flexible. </li>
<li> Searching with a Filter is more efficient: now the
filter is applied to a document before scoring is
done. </li>
<li> IndexReader can be opened with new readOnly=true
mode, which gives better performance in a
multi-threaded environment. </li>
</ul>
See <a href="http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_4_0/changes/Changes.html">CHANGES</a> for details.
</p>
<p>
Lucene 2.4.0 includes index format changes that are not
readable by older versions of Lucene. Lucene 2.4.0 can
both read and update older Lucene indexes. Adding to an
index with an older format will cause it to be converted
to the newer format.

This release contains fixes for serious bugs in 2.3.0 that could cause
index corruptions in <b>autoCommit=false mode</b> or in cases where multiple
threads are adding documents where <b>some have term-vector enabled
fields and some don't</b>. The autoCommit option was added to IndexWriter

runs in autoCommit=true mode.
