The Hibernate team is pleased to announce availability of version 5.6.0.Final of our flagship ORM library.
Compared to previous candidate releases, not much has changed:
-
a single bugfix HHH-13295 related to combining
@EmbeddedIdwith@MapsId- this was not a regression -
Upgraded ByteBuddy to the latest
-
Some more deprecation warnings, to better prepare you all for the amazing Hibernate ORM 6 - which is coming soon and you could already try out as Beta1 is now available.
Some maintenance as well
We have also released Hibernate ORM v. 5.5.8.Final, which includes a more substantial amount of bugfixes (but which had already been incorporated in 5.6).
Going forward we’ll be more conservative with backporting fixes to the 5.5 branch, but at this point the differences between 5.5 and 5.6 are fairly minimal, as we focus on the future of 6.0.

All details are available and up to date on the dedicated page on hibernate.org.
