Hi, We have just released our first version of [product](http://lyan.co). The official version will be released in June, until then we want to improve our search mechanism and for this purpose we would like to use Elasticsearch. I read the release notes of Elasticsearch 5 and I found it interesting because we have lots of tags that are very important in search results and you have added some features like keyword fields. I want to know whether there is a certain possibility for the stable version to be released in the next 4 months or must we keep using the 2.3 version for now? Thanks for reading this ---

It's scheduled for the 3rd quarter of the year, but this is a rough guideline only and may change. We don't offer a specific date though. (Also, your site doesn't seem to work for me) ---

@warkolm Has this schedule changed since April? I imagine there will likely be two or three more beta releases or release candidates before a final release. ---

Not really, it'll be soon, but can't say when sorry! ---
