Apache Solr for TYPO3 version 5.1 released

We're happy to announce the release of Apache Solr for TYPO3 (EXT:solr) version 5.1.0. This release ships a few bugfixes and smaller features

New in this Release
-------------------

The focus of this release was to provide the new features from the codesprint and bugfixes from the issue tracker. Beside that, we've added a variants feature that could be used together with the upcomming solrfal release 3.2 as one approach to avoid duplicated files in the search frontend.

Document Variants
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This feature adds a new optional field variantId that is filled with type/uid and can be used for collapsing by default.

The following example shows the required TypoScript configuration that is needed:

..  code-block:: typoscript

    plugin.tx_solr.search {
        variants = 0
        variants {
            expand = 1
            variantField = variantId
            limit = 10
        }
    }

The collapsing can be used to collapse on numeric and string fields, text fields are not supported for collapsing by Solr.

..  note::
    You need to update your solrconfig and schema to use the new field variantId

Improve Documentation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

During the transition from forge to github, we've moved the rest of the documentation to our rst documentation.

Backend statistics
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

During the codesprint in Frankfurt a new statistics module was added for that backend that allows you to get some usefull insights
of your search installation.

* Which terms are the most frequent search terms?
* Which terms are frequently searched but deliver no result?

UX Improvements

Bugfix: absRefPrefix auto in cli mode with webroot different from PATH_site
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When you are using absRefPrefix auto and index in cli mode and you webroot differs from PATH_site you have the possibility to configure a
webroot in the scheduler task to make absRefPrefix=auto work in this case

Details: https://github.com/TYPO3-Solr/ext-solr/pull/495

Bugfix: Keep selected site in scheduler task
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When a site in the scheduler task was selected the selection could get lost.
