search_api_autocomplete 8.x-1.0-beta1

This is the first Beta release for the Search API Autocomplete module's Drupal 8 version.

The module being in Beta phase means that no API-breaking changes will be introduced (unless necessary to fix a critical issue) and that an automatic upgrade path will be provided for any changes to the module's data structure. No manual upgrade or reinstall should be necessary for future versions of this module. Upgrading to this release from an earlier version of the module could, however, make manual configuration changes or reconfiguring of the module's settings necessary.

No major problems or bugs are known for this module version. To see future work necessary to get this module to a stable release, please see the list of release blockers and targets.

As a Beta release, this module version is not yet covered by the Drupal Security Team. Security-relevant issues might be disclosed and worked upon publically. It is therefore not recommended to use this release in production.
