Release notes from v1.4.2The 1.4.2 release resolves an issue where an "Inheritance security rules violated" exception would be thrown when using
System.Reflection against the Examine assembly.
Release notes from v1.4.11.4.1 is a release that upgrades:
- Lucene.Net
- AzureDirectory
and 1.4.1 now supports medium trust!!
Fixes: 10343
Release notes from v1.4.0A fairly mega release which borrows some behaviors from the currently under development v2.0 version, this means there are some breaking changes which are listed below, though I don't think these breaking changes will affect many.
Features
- Upgraded DLLs to .Net 4.0 runtime
- Azure support
- No more file queue, all asynchronous operations are handled by .Net 4.0's async Task scheduling system, this not only increases performance but better handles async operations.
- Running in async mode will now offer near real time data in your index
- Running in non-async mode will not cause index operations to fail in a multi-threaded environment (i.e. website), though still very strongly recommended to run in async for performance reasons especially when bulk inserting/updating
- Some bugs fixed
Azure support
- In order to support Lucene on Azure, you must have a blob storage account
- The Lucene - Azure support is based on the Azure library for Lucene
- To get Examine working with Azure, there's a few configuration options to adjust which you can find here: Examine with Azure
What to download?
There's a few zip files above so here's a simple guide to tell you what you'll need depending on what you're using Examine for:

Upgrading
- You shouldn't really have to do anything to upgrade unless the below Breaking Changes affect you.
- The configuration attribute for providers 'interval' can be removed as there is no more file queue (will still work if you dont remove it)
Breaking changes
- This release will only work with .Net 4.0 +
- The 'IndexerExecutive' object and process has been removed, if you are running a load balanced environment where each web node's file storage is stored on a centralized data store like a SAN than this may affect you. This also means the even: IndexerExecutiveAssigned has been removed.
- A few methods/properties have been removed from the LuceneIndexer (or are now not accessible from subclasses) object: SaveDeleteIndexQueueItem, BufferAddIndexQueueItem, SaveBufferAddIndexQueueItem, SaveAddIndexQueueItem, IndexQueueItemFolder
- Methods/properties removed from LuceneSearcher (or are now not accessible from subclasses): ValidateSearcher
- IIndexer now requires an IndexExists() method, so if you've created your own providers and are not inheriting from LuceneIndexer, this may affect you
