search_api 8.x-1.0-alpha15

This is the Alpha 15 release of the Search API module's Drupal 8 version.

This release changes the configuration format of the default entity datasources (i.e., how the bundle and language settings are stored). This means manual intervention will likely be needed if you're updating to this version from Alpha 14 on a site with datasources restricted to certain bundles and/or languages.
There were no other major schema changes.

While there are no known major bugs and the module is fully usable at this point, this version is still unstable and should only be used with great care in a production environment. No data update paths will be provided for Alpha versions of this module, so upgrading to this version, or from this to a later one, might discard some of your search configuration. Use with care!

For information about the development progress, see the list of issues, and especially the list of Beta blockers.

This release is compatible with the following add-on module versions:

• Facets Alpha 3
• Search API Pages Alpha 9
• Search API Sorts Alpha 1
• (Other releases to follow)
