Well, we need 2-3 weeks _after_ the official release of ES. The reason for this is that almost all the time the ES GA release contains additional changes that had not been included in any of the RCs. So since ES7 came out on 10th of April, we still have some days 😉 Joking aside, the SG beta for ES7 has been released last week:

> [@Search Guard 7.0.0 Beta 1 released](https://forum.search-guard.com/t/search-guard-7-0-0-beta-1-released/1447):
>
> Hi all, I am super proud to announce the arrival of Search Guard 7 Beta 1, compatible with Elasticsearch 7.0.0. It is is a beta release and does not yet contain all changes and breaking features we have planned and implemented. It is a drop-in replacement for Search Guard 6, so all your existing configuration settings should work out of the box. Installing Search Guard on Elasticsearch: bin/elasticsearch-plugin install https://oss.sonatyp…

At the moment the RC is in QA phase and will be out this week. It will contain all planned changes already. For the GA we need to do some additional “polishing”, especially around the changed config format and the docs. ETA is early next week.
