Are there any "Upgrading from 4.x" notes for the alpha/beta 5.0 releases? (trying to update Solr)

[Shawn Heisey]

I'm trying to prepare Solr for the release of the 5.0 versions of
httpcomponents.  When I update the ivy config to pull down the
alpha/beta 5.0 releases, there are naturally a lot of errors in the code.

The "Organize Imports" function in eclipse can find many of the classes
whose packages have changed, but I am also finding it difficult to
locate replacement classes for things that seem to have simply
disappeared.  One example is org.apache.http.message.AbstractHttpMessage.

Is there anyplace I can go to find documentation that can help me figure
out how to alter an existing project for the new version?

Side note:  It is likely that Solr is using paradigms and methods that
have been discouraged by this project for a long time.  Is there an IRC
channel for this project where I can have a more realtime discussion
with an expert?  I can open an issue in Jira on the SOLR project, but
I'm hoping for something a little less formal for the bulk of the
discussion.

Thanks,
Shawn

Hello,
I support such idea although I am aware the HC Team is not very big and
would need volunteers.

As an example, I must say that for example migrating from 4.2 to 4.5.X was
not very easy and lacked documentation.
Hopefully, it is in progress at JMeter project but having one for 4.5 =>
5.X would be great.

Thanks in advance.
Regards
