Working dev release. This branch is horribly unstable and should not be used for production yet. It is being made into a release node only to make it easier for people to try it out.
Important note: There is still a critical issue in this release: #1081244: Debug line still contained in database backend. Please wait for the Beta 7 release with this issue fixed, that will be available in the next few days.
This release contains both a lot of bug fixes and a bunch of new features. There are a few API changes, too, but those shouldn't break backwards-compatibility in any way.
New features include:
A new Views display for displaying static facet blocks linking to the search view — e.g., for providing a landing page with a list (or tag cloud) of popular terms/topics/authors.
A new data alteration for indexing the entity as it would look like when viewed in the browser.
UI improvements for (among others) facet blocks, the "Current search" block, the "Aggregated fulltext fields" data alterations and search pages.
