Hibernate 3.6.0.CR2 release

Hibernate 3.6.0.CR2 has mainly minor bug fixes with several improvements.

The improvements are:

• HHH-5560 Envers has added support for ValidityAuditStrategy - an alternative way to write history entries. The new strategy offers increased query performance, at the cost of additional operations during audit writing. For details see the blogs here and here.

• Several improvements to annotations support for discriminators, column-level read/write expressions, and timestamp versions.

Some fixes of particular interest are:

• HHH-5552 and HHH-5563 fix classloading issues using Infinispan.

• HHH-892 would cause an exception when an HQL query has an ORDER BY clause that refers to a result variable (i.e., select expression alias).

For more details about Hibernate 3.6.0.CR2, see the release notes.

The artifacts have all been published to the JBoss Maven repository.

The release bundles have been uploaded to SourceForge.
