 ### Compatibility
+
+---
+
+**Warning:** currently on npm you will only find a beta release that works with Elasticsearch 7, we will add the support for Elasticsearch 5, 6, and 7 once we release the final version of this library.
+
+---
+
 The library is compatible with all Elasticsearch versions since 5.x, but you should use the same major version of the Elasticsearch instance that you are using.
