If you are upgrading an existing installation be aware:

* This version will need Apache Solr Server 3.5.x
* You will need the new access filter plugin
* It will require TYPO3 4.5.x or higher
* There is no frontend indexing anymore
* All indexing is done by the indexing queue (you will love this!)
* Lots of changes in the typoscript parts
