search_api 8.x-1.0-beta4

This is the Beta 4 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 not completely stable and should only be used with great care in a production environment. Especially, the Drupal Security Team will not cover this release, so security-relevant issues might be discussed and resolved publicly (in case any are discovered).

If you want to help get this module to a stable release, or get an idea of the current status, please see the list of release blockers and targets.
