Posted by    |       Hibernate ORM

The fourth beta release of Hibernate 7 is now available.

Along with many bugfixes and minor improvements, this release features the following enhancements:

  • The brand-new Restriction, Path, and Range APIs make it easy to add programmatic restrictions to HQL queries or Jakarta Data repository methods in a completely type-safe way.

  • The package org.hibernate.graph was completely re-engineered, fixing a number of long-standing issues with our implementation of the Jakarta Persistence EntityGraph API.

  • StatelessSession is now able to make use of the second-level cache, reflecting the changing role of this very important API in the Hibernate ecosystem.

  • Reactive repositories backed by Hibernate Reactive are now a documented feature of Hibernate Data Repositories.

  • The hibernate-jfr module was enhanced to send more events to Java Flight Recorder.

  • HQL now provides portable sha(), md5(), and hex() functions.

  • Hibernate Processor now features much better support for inner classes.
