Please see the supported features of the Elastic Stack at [https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions). The page lists all features of the 7.x stack, the majority of which was already available in 6.x, too. Some features, such as frozen indices or vector datatypes are only available in 7.x

No, only basic authentication is available through the basic license. BTW, the open--source packages do not contain any of the x-pack features (which require at least the basic license). The open-source packages are intended for those environments which cannot otherwise comply with the terms of the basic license.
