Hibernate Search 8.0.0.CR1 is out

Posted by    |       Hibernate Search Lucene Elasticsearch Releases

Hibernate Search is a library that integrates Hibernate ORM with Apache Lucene or Elasticsearch by automatically indexing entities, enabling advanced search functionality: full-text, geospatial, aggregations and more. For more information, see Hibernate Search on hibernate.org.

We just published Hibernate Search 8.0.0.CR1, the candidate release of the next major version of Hibernate Search.

This version includes better integration with Hibernate Models, adapts the changes in Search DSL API related to field references to make it easier to migrate from previous versions, and other small adjustments and dependency upgrades.

What’s new

Dependency upgrades

Hibernate ORM (HSEARCH-5383)

Hibernate Search targets the Hibernate ORM 7.0 series, which implements Jakarta Persistence 3.2.0. In particular, it is currently based on Hibernate ORM 7.0.0.Final.

Other improvements and bug fixes

  • HSEARCH-5385: Adjust projection definition API to be better aligned with its sibling: predicate definition.

  • HSEARCH-5384: Adjust field reference changes in Search DSL APIs to have less impact on existing applications.

And more. Please see the release notes for a complete list of changes since the previous releases.
