New Release: SEBLOD 3.17.0

Today, we are glad to announce the availability of SEBLOD 3.17.0.
It brings nice additions and improvements to our Core package. 

# Key additions:

• "beforeSearch" event (gives the ability to alter some values before the search query)
• Multilanguage Aliases support on Multi-sites system
• "Persistent Search" support on Search module

# JCckContent improvements
Since the SEBLOD 3.16 series, you may have read our developer manuals dedicated to Content manipulation, and started to use our JCckContent "ORM" to create, load, save, delete content items. Some of you shared some great feedbacks (thank you for that!) and so you'll be pleased with new capabilities introduced today: the ability to count, find, search existing content items!
Some methods were already there, but we wanted to complete/changes some of them, add new ones... before highlight these great new capabilities.
We published a new dedicated page on our manuals: "count", "find", "search" methods to explain everything you need to know!

Additional methods:

• "getRegistry" method added (updated manual: "get" and "set" methods)
• "updateAlias" method added (updated manuals: Joomla! Article — Joomla! Category)

# Free Object improvements:
