[hibernate-dev] Hibernate Search branching and an update to 5.4.0.x work

[Sanne Grinovero]

The Lucene 5 related work - which is now almost ready - is not meant
to be included in the 5.4 release, but we postponed the release of
5.4.0.Final a bit as we're waiting for a .Final of Hibernate ORM 5.

However there are a couple other pull requests which are open and
suited to be merged now, so we'll create a 5.4 branch as soon as those
are merged too, to then continue with the Lucene 5 work on master
(which will be called 5.5.0-SNAPSHOT).

Essentially we'll create the 5.4 maintenance branch and start working
on 5.5 before releasing 5.4.0.Final; also since we had quite some
improvements merged after 5.4.0.CR1, I think we could do a CR2 after
merging those last PRs.

Thanks,
Sanne
