Hi,  
We want to consume "Highlighting Picks offset source for the unified highlighter directly from the es mapping #25747 (issue: #25699)" change in our ES, which as per the release notes is present in version 5.6.0

Any planned date that this version will be available ?

Thanks, Divya

We don't publish release dates but you can expect it in a few weeks.

You can use a SNAPSHOT version in the meantime if you want to do some tests or build it yourself.

Thanks for the update. We would want to test against the official release bits as we would make use of the same, to deploy it to our Production environments.
