Hibernate Search is a community driven project and as such the roadmap constantly evolves to reflect the users needs.
You can find a finer grained roadmap in our issue tracker but this page is a good and concise view of where we are going.
Dates are generally omitted: milestones are released regularly, the Final release is tagged when it’s considered stable.
