Roadmap v4.* release

[kows]

Rather a question since I don't know how I would have to reach out.

For one of our clients I'm looking to upgrade U8 towards U13.
They make use of BoboFacets so I kind of need to switch towards this version.
It has only been released as pre-release (almost a year), can it be considered stable by now?

Any plans on backtracking new changes of the v3.* version towards the v4.*?
Main change I'm looking towards is the new handling of corrupt indexes.

The roadmap doc is here and i think is still relevant https://shazwazza.github.io/Examine/developerguides/roadmap.html

But that said, those 4 items are optional and could certainly come in later versions. There are PRs for these but are either incomplete or need reviving

• V4.0 Change C# version from 9 to 12. Remove .NET Standard targets #360
• V4.0 Facet Drill Down and Drill Sideways support #364
• V4.0 Bugfix Index Float field as a Single #365
• V4.0 Filter Support #366
• V4.0 Geo Spatial Search Support #367

Without feedback from the community, it is difficult to know if v4 is 'stable'. There's been no reported issues apart from one:

• Field $facets was not indexed with SortedSetDocValues #388

If you have feedback on v4, it would be great to get some of it listed here (good or bad, etc...)

I will certainly merge v3 up to v4 :) There's some active work/fixes in v3 that should be ready to be shipped soon and then I can merge up to v4 and get another beta of 4 out.

Happy to discuss a revival. As far as I'm aware, all those prs are complete / pending review.

@Shazwazza I won't open a new issue just for that question.
I see that 4.0.0-beta.1 was released on 10/27/2023. It's been a long time since 4 has stayed in beta.
What do you think it will get out of beta and officially released?
We are particularly looking into the facets implementation of the new version.
