Hibernate Validator 6.0.16.Final released

Posted by    |       Hibernate Validator Releases

Hibernate Validator is the reference implementation for the Bean Validation specification. For more information, see Hibernate Validator on hibernate.org.

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.

JDK 12 support

Hibernate Validator is now also tested with JDK 12.

Windows build

It was not possible to run the full build on Windows, it is fixed now.

Full changelog

The complete list of fixed issues can be found on our JIRA.
