We are (me together with @James Fredley) are in the process of reviving the ElasticSearch-Plugin (https://github.com/grails-plugins/grails-elasticsearch) and making it ready for Grails 7 and beyond. I have provided 2 additional merge requests and would like to hear your opinion moving forward: Should we make an updated release for Grails 5/6 and then soon (tm) after that a new major release for Grails 7 or skip the release for 5/6. I would prefer the former if the release process is streamlined enough to not cost too much time and effort. Any other thoughts?

I am not a user of the plugin, but my 0.02€ worth is, that you should skip 5, do 6 if it's not a big piece of work, and focus on 7.

With Grails 8 around the corner, I think it would be a waste of resources to publish releases for Grails 5 and 6, unless you know of a good reason to do so.

Well, I do not care about 5, but the current version on the 4.x branch should work on both 5 and 6. I would like to use it in our Grails 6 application, because update to 7 is currently blocked by two other plugins not available yet: • https://github.com/gpc/export (working on that) • https://github.com/nerdErg/grails-shiro

Ok, then you have a good reason!

Could someone take a look at https://github.com/grails-plugins/grails-elasticsearch/pull/247 and https://github.com/grails-plugins/grails-elasticsearch/pull/246 or do I have to wait for @James Fredley?

I don't know much about Elasticsearch, but I'd be happy to take a look.

The earliest I will be able to look is the beginning of next week. I've had two crazy weeks with travel and speaking, plus everything else.
