Today I have released Hibernate ORM 5.0 (5.0.0.Final). This has been a long time coming and is the result of the efforts of many folks. Thanks to everyone who helped us get here with fixes, bug reports, suggestions, input and encouragement!

A lot of development has gone into 5.0. Here are the big points:

Hibernate ORM 4.2.20.Final was released 24-July-2015. At the time it was released, SourceForge was out of commission so distributions could not be uploaded. I decided to delay the announcement until SourceForge was back in commission and I was able to release 4.3.11.Final on 5-Aug-2015.

Today I released a fourth candidate release for Hibernate ORM 5.0 (5.0.0.CR4). The purpose was entirely to change the defaults for some settings. This allowed some additional fixes and additional documentation work to make it in.

Yesterday I released the third candidate release for Hibernate ORM 5.0 (5.0.0.CR3). We felt another CR was warranted because we had some minor integration (SPI) work that we needed to make in to Final, but too much development had happened since the second CR to be considered risk free to just include everything into Final. At any rate CR3 got lots of great TLC :) The complete set of changes can be seen in the Jira changelog. The main changes include:

TL;DR - JPA let’s you override database columns for embedded objects but also for collections of embedded objects; @AttributeOverride and @AssocationOverride can be used for that.

Let’s assume the following entity model representing a person and their home and business address:
