The release went out on schedule; no problems have been reported.

PR #501 has been merged, and documentation has been added to the wiki.

PR #534 has been merged.

Demian upgraded the solr5 branch to release 5.4.0, but unfortunately, a known bug in Solr prevents MoreLikeThis from working; we will probably have to wait for the next Solr release before proceeding.

The next call will be Tuesday, February 2, 2016 at 9am Eastern Standard Time (14:00 GMT).
