Version 4.0.0 Beta 1
Pre-release
This software is still in development, so it is not recommended to run this version on a production site.
This version requires a full reindex.
Please note that 4.0 introduces a new search algorithm that may change the order of results displayed on your site. Additionally, this algorithm may be changed again during the beta process before a final 4.0 release algorithm is determined. Your feedback on this new algorithm is welcome via the Github issues list.
New minimum versions are:
| Min | Max | |
|---|---|---|
| Elasticsearch | 5.2 | 7.10 |
| WordPress | 5.6+ | latest |
| PHP | 7.0+ | latest |
Note that the official ElasticPress 4.0.0 release will replace master with trunk. Built assets were already removed from the branch and added to the zip file attached to the GitHub release page. As such, please plan to update any references you have from master to trunk or to GitHub releases depending on whether you require built assets or not.
