As of 6.3.0 (and beyond) we will no longer provide pre build SSL plugin assemblies.
You need to compile and distribute them yourself (which should not be a big deal btw).
The main reason for this decision is that we do not see a lot of people using it and it takes a lot of effort to release and maintain it.
For SG 7 we will merge the SSL plugin into Search Guard plugin. We think that SSL without authentication makes not much sense anyhow.

Hello All,
I notice that the assembly was removed from search-guard-ssl shortly before the 6.3.0-25.3 version was released.
Why was this removed? A perusal of the Github issues and commits doesn’t seem to give much background. The installation for our application uses elasticsearch-plugin and the search-guard-ssl-.zip packaging. Does this need to change?
Thanks in advance,
Paul
