Nested Field Limitation in Typesense Version 0.24.0.rcn43

TLDR NoGame inquired about a nesting limitation in Typesense software, 0.24.0.rcn43 version, and asked for an ETA. Kishore Nallan confirmed the limitation and estimated fix in version 0.25, possibly by end of January.

Hello,
I tried out the 0.24.0.rcn43 and the nested field is working fine, but when I trying to put the nested field in "facet_by" like "specification", it doesnt show all the nested field under "specification" field. Right now also cannot put as "specification.*".
Is it possible to facet_by using nested field? or this nested field is just for indexing only?
The sample data in "specification" field:

{
"resolution":"1920x1080",
"inch":"10inch",
}

This is a current limitation. We don't have a way to do this but is a very high priority item in our backlog. For now you have to specify the fields explicitly.

Will be in 0.25 but we often release stable RC builds, so hopefully will have a build by end of Jan.
