search_api 8.x-1.0-alpha17

This is the Alpha 17 release of the Search API module's Drupal 8 version.

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.
We currently plan to release the first Beta version within the next weeks.

This release is compatible with the following related contrib module releases:

• Search API Solr Alpha 6
• Search API Pages Alpha 11
