Hibernate Validator 6.2.4.Final, 7.0.5.Final and 8.0.0.CR2 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.

Today, we released new maintenance releases for our Hibernate Validator 6.2 and 7.0 branches.

Both versions improve testing of Java records and make sure the annotation processor is working correctly with records.

We also released a new candidate release (CR2) of Hibernate Validator 8.0, which targets Jakarta EE 10.

Getting 6.2.4.Final

To get the release with Maven, Gradle etc. use the GAV coordinates org.hibernate.validator:{hibernate-validator|hibernate-validator-cdi|hibernate-validator-annotation-processor}:6.2.4.Final. Note that the group id has changed from org.hibernate (Hibernate Validator 5 and earlier) to org.hibernate.validator (from Hibernate Validator 6 onwards).

Alternatively, a distribution bundle containing all the bits is provided on SourceForge (TAR.GZ, ZIP).
