Hi,

Just pushed support for external versioning, which should help when integrating other _numeric_ versioning schemes with elasticsearch (like database optimistic locking one). More details here: [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/776](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/776).

0.16 is slated for around 2-3 weeks from now. The closest thing to a roadmap is the issues list on github.
