We have just released 3.5.0-CR-2. The main focus for this release was bugfixes and documentation.
I am pleased to announce that we have just released Hibernate version 3.5.0-CR-1. As a refresher, Hibernate follows the JBoss versioing scheme where CR is a Candidate for Release
(what many of you might call RC). The main stated goal of 3.5 is JPA 2 compliance. This is the first release we believe achieves that goal entirely. In fact we are in the process of certifying for standalone JPA 2 compliance and have integrated this CR into the imminent JBoss AS M2 release as part of their effort towards full Java EE 6 compliance.
In terms of JPA 2, its really easier to start talking about things not yet implemented :) The set of missing features are defined by the unresolved subtasks of the following 2 Jira issues:
Specific JPA 2 related enhancements from Beta-2 include:
IntelliJ now has support for the new JPA 2.0 typesafe query facility I've been blogging about. It's very important that this stuff works smoothly with tooling, so it's great to see that the tooling vendors are on this early.
Mark Little, the CTO of JBoss, blogged about our vision for component models in JBoss platforms - he gives a great overview, describing how Seam (and JSR-299/Weld) will form the core programming model.
The second release towards JPA 2 support. Specific JPA 2 related enhancements from Beta-1 include:
Just got done releasing 3.3.2 with tons of fixes/enhancements/improvements including some much needed documentation updates and again building translated docs.
I just pushed a new Hibernate Core maintenance release 3.2.7 for download. It is mostly minor fixes and improvements; check out the specifics in the change log either in Jira or SourceForge.
