The Hibernate team is pleased to announce the release of Hibernate Core 4.0.0.Alpha1. Pieces of changes in this release have been in the work for a long time, so even though it is an alpha the changes should all be really really well vetted and tested.

There were a number of comments on twitter and blogs last week discussing Weld's performance and scalability, and I wanted to comment on the issues discussed and our work to resolve them. Upfront, let me say that we have been actively working on performance and scalability for a while now (previously more on memory usage, more recently on performance). Of course, we work primarily with JBoss AS, but also work closely with the GlassFish team; many of the improvements will be directly available as Weld is updated in GlassFish, and we'll continue to support the GlassFish team in any performance work they do on GlassFish that impacts on Weld.
