8.0.1
-----

2025-05-12

This point release fixes several bugs and addresses shortcomings
in the backwards-incompatible 8.0 release series.

This release includes further significant refactoring of the
signal- and dependency-handling code and should be considered an
immediate replacement of the initial 8.0 release which has been
pulled in order to prevent further use in the wild.

---

2025-05-08

This release adds support for, and requires:

* Elasticsearch 8.x.
* elasticsearch-py >=8.18.0
* Django 4.2 LTS.

This release significantly refactors indexing operations and code
paths such that:

* reindexing requests are now validated using a builtin evaluator
  which determines whether or not the index corresponding to a given
  index should be considered dirty.
* index dependencies are now more rigorously computed as a dependency
  tree and updates are now properly dispatched to dependent indices.
* additional interfaces have been added to the 'Search' object in
  order to allow implementations to provide custom logic when
  considering index updates and dependency dispatching.

2021-11-23

This release adds support for, and requires, the use of ES 7.x.

This release marks a departure from the previous release strategy.
To reduce confusion and to provide better support for a variety of
Elasticsearch installations, releases will follow the major ES
release versions as is done with the 'elasticsearch-py' and the
'elasticsearch-dsl-py' packages.

* Uses analyzer, tokenizer constructions compatible with ES >= 5.0
* Replaces the use of the 'string' type field with 'text' [ES>=5.0].
* Removes use of 'flush' API [ES>=6].
* Removes support for Python 2 and related compatibility shims.
* Replaces deprecated ngram type names [ES>=8.0].
* Revises index construction to support mapping type removal [ES>=8.0].
* Adds new field 'KitchenSinkField' to replace the functionality
  of the historical '_all' index field [ES>=6.0].
