[hibernate-dev] [Search and more] What is new in a give release

[Marko Bekhta]

Hi Emmanuel,

I did some updates to HV roadmap with this PR [1]. There's also some
updates to
HV contribute page. Maybe somebody could check those changes and if needed
add
more to what is present, if what is already there is fine.

Have a nice day,
Marko
