Post Release Notes
After the final release, it was noted that SOLR-1432 was not mentioned in the CHANGES.txt file. This issue uncovered a bug in the way FunctionQueries were scored, and was exacerbated by changes made in Lucene 2.9 related to pushing scoring down to a SegmentReader level. The fix for this issue resulted in some API additions to the ValueSource class. All ValueSource implementations provided by Solr were fixed to implement this API, but third-party plugins may behave unexpectedly if they do not override this new method.
