We can now announce the next release of Search Guard.

Search Guard 50 brings this:

**[Support for Elasticsearch 7.11.x](https://docs.search-guard.com/latest/changelog-searchguard-7.x-50_0_0)**

Search Guard now supports the newest incarnation of Elasticsearch. Please note due to the ES license change, we no longer can offers downloads of the `sgadmin-standalone` tool. However, we still provide downloads built for ES 7.10.2, which can be used without problems with newer versions of Search Guard and Elasticsearch.

Note: Due to issues with ES 7.11.0, we cannot offer Search Guard for ES 7.11.0.

**[Support for User Attributes in Tenant Patterns](https://docs.search-guard.com/latest/changelog-kibana-7.x-50_0_0#support-for-user-attributes-in-tenant-patterns)**

Often requested, now available: You can now use user attributes to configure dynamic tenant patterns in `sg_config`:

```auto
sg_tenant_user_attrs:
  tenant_permissions:
  - tenant_patterns:
    - "dept_${user.attrs.dept_no}"
    allowed_actions:
    - "SGS_KIBANA_ALL_WRITE"

```

**[Audit Logging: Logging the Authentication Domain](https://docs.search-guard.com/latest/changelog-searchguard-7.x-50_0_0#logging-of-authentication-domain-used-for-logging-in)**

Audit Logging now also logs information about the ways a user used for logging in at Search Guard. For example, users logging in via basic auth and an LDAP authentication backend get now the additional audit log attribute `basic/ldap`.

**[Signals Stability and Footprint Improvements](https://docs.search-guard.com/latest/changelog-searchguard-7.x-50_0_0#signals)**

Search Guard 50 brings significant improvements regarding stability and the resource footprint of Signals Alerting.

**… and more**

@searchguard, I see new new elastic license doesn’t let SG to offer downloads of the `sgadmin-standalone` tool.

Can you please provide more information on this please? My setup is running on docker swarm and I use `sgadmin-standalone` to push the configs/to initialise SG on cluster setup.

What would be our next possible apporach that would allows use to run `Sgadmin` for remote machine?

As the release notes are saying:

> It is however perfectly possible to use older versions of `sgadmin-standalone` with Search Guard on ES 7.11+.

So just continue to use the `sgadmin-standalone` 7.10.2-49.0.0 available [here](https://maven.search-guard.com/search-guard-suite-release/com/floragunn/search-guard-suite-plugin/7.10.2-49.0.0/search-guard-suite-plugin-7.10.2-49.0.0-sgadmin-standalone.zip).
