We just released Hibernate Validator 6.0.16.Final which includes several improvements and bugfixes.
This is a recommended upgrade for everyone using Hibernate Validator and it is a drop-in replacement for 6.0.15.Final.
What’s new
Performance improvements
We fixed a performance regression compared to 5.x when validating unconstrained beans.
Note that Hibernate Validator 6.x is significantly faster than 5.x and it keeps improving.
Rounding error with @Min/@Max/@DecimalMin/@DecimalMax constraints
All the min/max constraints were affected by a rounding error.
Full changelog
The complete list of fixed issues can be found on our JIRA.
