8.17.2 (26 February 2025)

Announcement

• Attempting to allow the 8.x client to work with 7.x Elasticsearch servers by
  making min_version and max_version configurable at the time of
  Builder instantiation.
  The default values are still limited to 8.x versions, but preliminary testing
  shows that the 8.x client works just fine for Curator against 7.14.x through
  7.17.x servers with these changes.

Changes

• The Builder class can now override the default minimum and/or maximum version:
  Builder(config, min_version=7.0.0, max_version=8.99.99).
• The helpers.config.get_client() function can also take these arguments:
  helpers.config.get_client(config, min_version=7.0.0, max_version=8.99.99).
• Updated the date and copyright holder in LICENSE.
