Hibernate ORM 4.2.11.Final was just released! Please see the full changelog for more information: https://hibernate.atlassian.net/issues/?jql=project=10031+AND+fixVersion=16153.
As previously mentioned, 4.3.x is the new stable
version and we have shifted focus towards ORM 5.
One commit of note is HHH-8440, which added a new SQLServer2012Dialect that fully supports sequences. The rest were minor bug fixes and docs improvements, mostly from community pull requests (thanks!).
