I appreciate, but aparts from our needs, I think we *need* a fully
functional Hibernate Search release working with 4.2.x branch of ORM.
It's always bad to have 2 components so tightly integrated which
aren't working well together.

Currently, the only version working with this branch is the latest
4.4.1 but it's hardly usable as soon as you play with @IndexedEmbedded
so IMHO we should quickly release the fix if we can get it commited
soon.

Is 4.5 supposed to be compatible with ORM 4.2 and 4.3 or only 4.3?

FYI, we haven't started any validation of ORM 4.3 yet and I'm not sure
of when we will be able to start this work. I'd like to plan it ASAP.

Considering we cannot help to test it without this fix included, I
think it would be a good idea to wait for it before pushing a 4.5
alpha.
