I'm in the process of releasing Hibernate Search 5.3.0.CR1. This time, we won't wait for the Final release for branching to the next development iteration: "master" is now version 5.4.0-SNAPSHOT and you're all welcome to start proposing pull requests meant for 5.4. Since 5.3.0.CR1 is a candidate release, we don't expect further changes other than some overdue documentation polishing, to be merged both in master and branch "5.3". Of course if regressions are reported we'll re-evaluate the plan, otherwise I will release 5.3.0.Final the 10th of June. So for the current work sprint please look at both issues targeting "5.4" and "5.3.0.Final". = https://hibernate.atlassian.net/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%2010061%20AND%2... = https://hibernate.atlassian.net/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%2010061%20AND%2... The main goal for 5.4 is to be compatible with Hibernate ORM 5: as soon as that's integrated we'll publish an Alpha.. hopefully just in a couple of days. Thanks, Sanne
