We are excited to announce the release of 5.5.0.Alpha1.

Jakarta JPA work in progress

Hibernate ORM 5.5.0.Alpha1 adds new artifacts with the name suffix "-jakarta" like hibernate-core-jakarta. These artifacts are currently work in progress, but will eventually provide support for Jakarta JPA 3.0.

Bytecode enhancement

The bytecode enhancement configuration was adapted to turn on enhancement-as-proxy by default and remove the switch for configuring this.

In addition, the release introduces a few minor improvements as well as bug fixes. See below for the complete list of changes.
