In Relation To

We just released the 6.0.5.Final version of Hibernate Validator containing a couple of important bugfixes and some enhancements.

This is a recommended upgrade for everyone using Hibernate Validator 6.0.x and it is a drop-in replacement of 6.0.4.Final.

As you may know, Bean Validation 2.0 has been released a couple of months ago and Hibernate Validator 6.0 is its reference implementation.

Hibernate Validator is not the only Bean Validation implementation out there, we have one (friendly) competitor called Apache BVal.

Apache BVal has not caught up with Bean Validation 2.0 yet but, as the last benchmark in the Bean Validation field is dated from 2010 (remember "Machete don’t text"?), I thought it was high time to revisit this benchmark and get some fresh numbers.

Especially with all the optimization work we made for 6.0.

Another week, another Hibernate Validator release. You might ask why we release a new maintenance version of the 6.0 branch so soon: it is mostly to provide a patch for WildFly 11 Final but it is also packed with nice enhancements!

This is a recommended upgrade for everyone using Hibernate Validator 6.0.x and it is a drop-in replacement of 6.0.3.Final.

And here comes another maintenance release of Hibernate Validator 6.0.

A lot of thanks to our users and contributors for reporting issues and submitting pull requests, it was definitely a great team effort.

This is a recommended upgrade for everyone using Hibernate Validator 6.0.x and it is a drop-in replacement of 6.0.2.Final.

Thanks to our users providing us feedback on our 6.0 release, we were able to fix a few annoying issues and we are happy to announce the release of Hibernate Validator 6.0.2.Final.

This is a recommended upgrade for everyone using Hibernate Validator 6.0.x and it is a drop-in replacement of 6.0.1.Final.

It has been a long ride, more than six months, but here it is: we just released Hibernate Validator 6.0 Final together with the final version of the Bean Validation 2.0 specification.

We just released the Bean Validation 2.0 release train (e.g. the specification, the API and the TCK) for the Final Approval Ballot and, as usual, we release a compatible version of Hibernate Validator shortly after: here comes Hibernate Validator 6.0.0.CR3.

We just released a CR2 of the Bean Validation 2.0 release train (e.g. the specification, the API and the TCK) and, as usual, we release a compatible version of Hibernate Validator shortly after: here comes Hibernate Validator 6.0.0.CR2.

The Proposed Final Draft (CR1) of Bean Validation 2.0 has been released earlier this week and it is time to release a version of the Reference Implementation compatible with it: here comes Hibernate Validator 6.0.0.CR1.

Note that Hibernate Validator 6 requires JDK 8 or above.

It has just been a couple of weeks since the 6.0.0.Beta1 release but we needed a new version matching Bean Validation 2.0.0.Beta2.

Hibernate Validator 6 is going to be the reference implementation of Bean Validation 2.0 and, as such, we coordinate releases so you can test the latest additions as soon as possible.

Note that Hibernate Validator 6 requires JDK 8 or above.
