I am using Search::Elasticsearch 6.00 but when I connect to an Elasticsearch cluster running 7.6.1, I get annoying deprecation warnings on some calls. For example, calling update() with a type parameter results in the following warning: [DEPRECATION] [types removal] Specifying types in document update requests is deprecated, use the endpoint /{index}/\_update/{id} instead. I can't just remove the type field, as the client views it as a required parameter and throws a fatal error if it is left out. Is there an updated version of Search::Elasticsearch that I'm not seeing in the places I'm looking? Or is there a way to make 6.00 use the new typeless APIs? ---
