CKAN 2.9.5

Major features

• Solr 8 support. Starting from version 2.9.5, CKAN supports Solr versions 6 and 8. Support for Solr 6 will be dropped in the next CKAN minor version (2.10). Note that if you want to use Solr 8 you need to use the ckan/config/solr/schema.solr8.xml file, or alternatively you can use the ckan/ckan-solr:2.9-solr8 Docker image which comes pre-configured.
