Greetings,

We are pleased to annouce the inaugural release of Apache Lucy™, version 0.1.0!

Apache Lucy is full-text search engine library written in C and targeted at dynamic languages. The initial release provides Perl bindings.

Lucy is a "loose C" port of Apache Lucene™, a search engine library for Java -- it is similar in purpose to Lucene, but designed to take advantage of C's unique capabilities.

For more information, please visit the Apache Lucy website:

Lucy is also available from CPAN:

Disclaimer:

Apache Lucy is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.

Regards,

The Apache Lucy development team:
