[BUG] Using the elasticsearch client always results in an error

[gmmorris]

Hey elasticians, 👋

Describe the bug All versions of the elasticsearch-rs are marked as alpha on Cargo. As a result of the alpha releases, usage always appears as an error and makes customers (such as myself) wonder whether or not we should treat the rust client as stable.

For example: https://docs.rs/elasticsearch/8.5.0-alpha.1/elasticsearch/

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install VSCode and the rust-analyzer plugin
2. Add the elasticsearch as a dependency in Cargo.toml
3. An error should appear in the UX: elasticsearch: No versions found

Expected behavior The rust clients should appear on crates.io as a proper release version.

Screenshots

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS: OSX
• rustc version: rustc 1.70.0 (90c541806 2023-05-31)

Sorry, only just noticed the comment on the README:

The project is still very much a work in progress and in an alpha state; input and contributions welcome!

I guess that explains it 🤷
