Hibernate Search is a library that integrates Hibernate ORM with Apache Lucene or Elasticsearch by automatically indexing entities, enabling advanced search functionality: full-text, geospatial, aggregations and more. For more information, see Hibernate Search on hibernate.org.

As suggested last week, today we released Hibernate Search version 5.3.0.Final.

Compared to the previous candidate release, the only changes are some minor clarifications in the documentation.

   <dependency>
      <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
      <artifactId>hibernate-search-orm</artifactId>
      <version>5.3.0.Final</version>
   </dependency>

Faceting API changes

The new great faceting integration comes at a small migration cost: remember you now need to use the new @Facet annotation as explained in the the example of the previous post.

What's next?

Barring some maintenance needs on this branch 5.3, we have no plans of other Hibernate Search releases to target Hibernate ORM 4.3.x. The focus is now on Hibernate 5 compatibility.

  • Artefact jars are available on Maven Central under the GAV org.hibernate:hibernate-search-orm:5.3.0.Final
  • Tarballs and zip bundles can be downloaded from our website
  • Feedback is welcome on the forums and emails, IRC
