Thanks Yoann! Looks great. Two minor suggestions: - could the two links we have for each release on search/releases/ on two separate lines? Or something else to make it clear that there are two linkes. - Regarding the "Compatibility matrix", the header line (the one in black) .. I think we need to clarify in some way that you're referring to Hibernate Search releases. Possibly just link to the page describing the family?
